i was trying 2 change the connect button using help and i found that i could
not follow the instructon 'Double-click Keyboard. The Keyboard Properties
window opens.
Click the Buttons tab.' coz there is no buttons tab on that window.Speed and
hardware are the only ones.
Also,the buttons (on the top-user,hp,connect,search,etc)of my keyboard had
been configured but now for no reason i can think of ,they stopped working
and i need to configure all of them again.how do i do it and what went wrong?
I use windows XP home.

It sounds like the software that was the keyboard driver helper is no longer
running, disabled, uninstalled, or just plain broken. If your keyboard came
with a CD then re-install that. (No, not the whole OS - but one that says
something about a keyboard.) Somehow I'm betting that you didn't get a
separate keyboard CD with the software on it? If that's the case you'll
probably want to root around all over the HP site for their installer for
the keyboard. I have no idea if or where they have it but it's a pretty good
chance that they do though searching for it might be interesting. After
that, either with the software itself (in the Program Files section of the
start menu) you should be able to adjust it.
