    i just did a clean install of vista ultimate and all the drivers then suddenly the F key stopped working...

    any ideas? any driver i missed?

    also, there used to be a F + Esc key that shows HP driver info


    thanks!

    The Fn keys are controlled by the Quick launch buttons software. Make sure you have that installed.

    Yes, it should. AFAIK all new quicklaunch buttons software are not model/system specific.
