Vista - PS/2 Millennium Keyboard quick keys not working

eec7364 · 09-13-2009

Hi.

I have a Gateway PS/2 Millennium Keyboard. When I bought a new computer (Dell E5500 Lattitude Laptop w/ a docking station) with Vista Home on it, the keyboard quick keys (the keys on the top that allow you to directly open up a browser, email, or control an audio CD playing don't work. I also can't figure out how to change the settings on the keyboard.

I suspect that I need to install a driver (or more) to allow the keybaord to fully function properly, but can't find anything that says it will work with Windows Vista.

Does anyone know how I can get this working?

Thanks.

Hi yeah the quick keys are functions of the drivers so you want to go to dell and download all the drivers. Bios, audio, vide, everything. then you need to go to gateway for the keyboard driver. If the keyboard was usb, or bluetooth you would need to do a couple of additionnal steps
