    I installed Windows XP Professional on somebody's Compaq Presario home desktop system, and they couldn't find the software for the multimedia keyboard (to get those special buttons working) does anyone know where I could find the software? Oh yeah, and Compaq's webpage DOES not have it to my knowledge. (I checked, a few times :swt: )

    Thanks

    If I may ask, what are those special buttons on the keyboard?
    have you tried the software provided with the keyboard, or visited there (Keyboard Manufactures) web site for more info?

    The keys are like those, volume up, volume down, internet browser, etc. I stated that I could not find the software that came with the keyboard, and the manufacturer was Compaq, who do not have the appropriate software on their webpage.

    I don't think this will ever be solved.. heh. :(

    I'd try emailing Compaq support and see if they do have an XP copy of their drivers available.

    However I'm fairly sure that if they don't your probably out of luck as it seems most of the big box retailers only seem to include that data on their recovery discs which is basically worthless after an upgrade.

    So I'd try Compaq and see if they can help. Also do you have a bit more info on the model # of the PC and I'll do a bit of checking and see what I can find.

    That's pretty odd that you can't find it on their site. I'd definitely try to e-mail tech support if ya haven't already. Also, I'd think Compaq's software for the keyboards would work with all the keyboard's...I'm not sure if ya considered that or not. If you do find it on the site---may have to dig some---it ought to work with all their keyboards. Just a guess though, along with restating the obvious.

    I installed all of the updated drivers from Compaq and Windows won't even display the buttons for me to customize, Everything works, except just for this function
