    Hi,

    these are very often controlled by Launch Manager. Check your registry for LManager entries.

    i found the entries for lmanager but that only controls the power setting button. i should not that the media control buttons on this laptop are part of the keyboard and not dedicated buttons but secondary Fn + buttons on the Home, Pg Up, Pg Down and End Keys
