Some QuickLaunch buttons not working (8530p&Vista64)

Hey!

After some problems with software, I did a clean install of Vista Ultimate 64bit. I copied the Swsetup folder and used those drivers, downloaded some newer ones and some applications from official HP site.

It works all great, except the two QuickLaunch buttons: for Qmenu and WLAN. Nothing happens if I pressed them. They don't even blink! But the others work just fine - even the Fn keys.

I've tried reinstalling the QLB application and drivers for a dozen times with no change.

I'd be very grateful for a solution. Wouldn't like to restore it (and lose all data again) or even to bring it back to HP.

Thanks in advance!

One thing I've found: sometimes for me, the WLAN and BT switches can get wedged in a state where the two devices can only be opposites; to fix that, I have to clear BIOS settings. Also, check Windows Update for a newer button driver -- I'm not sure whether the Windows Update ones are better, but they're worth a try.

 

Thanks for help.

Today I accidentally put the computer to sleep instead of shut down (after I uninstalled both the QuickLook and QuickLaunch programs for the last time ). After the computer woke up, all the buttons started working. I have no idea what happened.

I've installed the QuickLaunch again and now they're working (even after sleep state). Now they work even during the boot (they blink after being pressed).

I hope this is it, because I'm really enjoying the clean 64-bit vista
