119289	2003-02-08 08:53:00	I think the driver is installed... Been using this keyboard for 3 years... Its just these extra internet buttons i want to work. Tried control panel/keyboard but theres not much in there. Is there something I should download from M$ or a hidden file to use ? cheers Pete	organicpete (2411)

If the driver is installed its usually under a tab in keyboard under the Control Panel. Without the driver it will function as a standard keyboard. If the driver was installed, then the keys should have default values relating to MS software (Outlook Express etc). The fact that they don't suggests the Windows default driver is used instead	godfather (25)

119292	2003-02-09 03:23:00	I'm glad someone asked this question. It's something that I have often wondered about. Have MS keyboard and 98SE too and those keys have never worked for me either. However I do have the CD for the keyboard so I guess all I have to do is play it and follow any instructions. Or is that just too simple??	Iris (475)
119293	2003-02-09 06:38:00	Its that simple. Look for an "install" option	godfather (25)
119294	2003-02-09 07:01:00	Yeh!!! It worked and now they work!! Thanks Godfather and thanks organicpete for asking the question	Iris (475)
