Help, I have downloaded 1.2.6 onto my HP Laptop which uses Vista.
The drop-down menu box to select the input source is 'greyed out'.
What do I have to do to be able to open the box for selection.
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

I believe that's because of vista:

Well I have the same problem on Windows XP SP2 with a Realtec ALC888. Any ideas? Sorry if I'm threadjacking!
