Alright. Another question about this, when I set it in compatibility mode to get my overlay, I can't change my volume without alt+tabbing out. Is there some other option I'm missing that'll let me have volume control again?

I updated the guide for missing Compatibility tab issue. Also, this only known way how to fix this.

My game's performance drops when doing this. Is there any other known way the get the overlay to work?

I don't have Compatibility in my Properties. Instead, it is replaced by Sharing. I am using Windows 7. Please assist.
