    I Have a HP DV6T QUAD and reinstalled Windows 7. When I touch the volume on my keyboard to increase or decrease the volume, it would appear on the screen for 1 second. Now after reinstalling, it doesn't show on the screen anymore when I touch the volume increase decrease on my laptop. Help.

    maybe you can try the smartmenu or quicklaunch re-install. I think one of those worked for me.

    Try installing the 'HP Quick Launch Buttons' software for the version of Windows 7 you installed.
