    Hello all I hope someone can help. I have a first generation HDX, a 9010nr. I just performed a reinstall of the OS by using F11 during start up. After I ran all of the updates and the HP drivers I tried to use the blue eject button on my quicklaunch bar and nothing happened. Before the reinstall they all worked fine.

    So I tried the rest of the buttons and they all seem to work fine. I thought since my webcam was flaky before I applied SP1 i'd wait for that to push down. Well if finally did and it didn't make a difference. Besides the play/pause buttons the eject is about the only one I use. Any idea why only this button won't work?

    Probably wrong drivers. Check your HP driver page for the latest one.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I removed the quicklaunch entry from the device manager and let Windows autodetect it but go the same result. All of the buttons work but the eject button.

    The media buttons (play/pause,stop,etc) do not need drivers to work. These keys should be recognised as part of a multimedia keyboard.

    The eject button and quickplay buttons will require the right drivers to communicate with the disc drive.
