    Install HP Softpaq Download Manager, let it scan your computer for missing software.

    No I dont and I was kinda hoping that the Download Manager would do it automatically. Not many people know of it's existence.
    Power Management software might be one possibility.

    You need to install sp56876 "HP Hot key Support" ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56876.html

    You can get it from hp support drivers download or just perform a google search for "sp56876.exe" and it will lead you to the download page on HP site.
