Default OCZ Elixir keyboard Windows 7 Fix

Here's a link I found w/ instructions on how to get the macro keys to work in Windows 7 if anyone is having problems.

For Windows 7 32-bit users, just replace the folder Driver64 for Driver on step 2 (if needed, I think you can just skip step 2 if your Windows is 32 bits.).

All that is needed is to enable XP compatibility in Elixir Alchemy executables. To do so:

FIRST OF ALL: Go to Task Manager (Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, click Start Task Manager) and in the Processes tab, finish the processes Control.exe, option.exe and traicon.exe.

1) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Alchemy Elixir (or the folder where you installed OCZ Alchemy Elixir drivers and program);
2) Go to the Driver64 folder. Double-click DPInst.exe and install the 64-bit driver. This may take a while.
3) Go back to the previous folder (the one in step 1), right-click Control.exe and select Properties. Go to Compatibility tab, enable "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Click OK.
4) Repeat the steps described in #3 for option.exe and traicon.exe.
5) Double-click each of the executables above to start them or restart Windows.

It's done. Your macro keys are working nicely now. However, I do really hope that OCZ develops a brand new and more functional version of Elixir Alchemy controls that works perfectly with Win7.

Cheers!
