Conflict problem between IntelProSet and Hcontrol

I have a problem on my laptop (W5g00AE) disrupting me for a long time and it is getting more and more serious.
It's a software conflict problem between IntelProSet Apps and Asus ATK100, actually the problem is hcontrol.
The condition is unstable, sometimes is good, other is not. And it also effect the TKIP protocol to access wireless probably.

ATK100 is included a software called hcontrol which manage the function keys, audio switch, wireless/bluetooth switch, etc.

You can download the lastest version of ATK100 in Asus download service webpage,
Category is Notebook->W5000 Series->W5AE (W5g00AE)->Others

Somone provided a good solution in Chinese.
After all, you can use new driver (9.0.4.17, my old driver version is 9.0.19) with old IntelProSet application.
Don't execute the installer from Asus webstie. Just update your driver by hardware manager. It's much safer.

But I got a problem with conflict on family code of IntelProSet apps, and I cannot use Apps in old version. I think there is a process to check version of driver and version of apps. 
Hope you are more lucky than me. I uninstall the IntelProSet and use the lastest wireless driver now. Of course, hcontrol is working fine now.
Something happened after I reinstall drivers and apps. I can install apps in old version now.
And then I have 2 solutions now.
  • Update driver only and use old veriosn apps
  • Use the lastes apps and driver from IntelProSet
I tried another solution. Direct download from website from IntelProSet,
The driver of wireless is updated to 9.0.4.39 and the apps is still conflicting with hcontrol.

So I copy the lastest driver folder in Program Files/Intel/Wifi/, uninstall all lastest apps and install old apps.

So far, it's stable now. I use the latest driver, 9.0.4.39 without IntelProSet and hcontrol is working.
