    some of my NP2090's touch buttons aren't working- the internet one and the two WOW buttons. What driver should I reinstall if any?

    When you say internet button don't you talk about the button to activate wireless?

    I think he means shortcut key for WWW Browser.
    Like Audio Volume control, etc.

    Yea, I meant the browser shortcut button on top of the keyboard. How would I uninstall the old drivers?

    1. Start Button/Settings/Control Panel/Add&Remove Programs.
    2. See if you can find anything related to the utility.

    If you have just installed your Windows from scratch, then obviously your PC doesn't have those utilities installed, then you will have to download and install them.

    Ok I updated the drivers and it all works but I have to say the WOW buttons are a bit underwhelming. Is there a way to customize them? The browser button is the most useful out of the bunch along with mute close behind.

    Hm, that's odd. In my experience the Internet/Mail buttons work without any software. And they're certainly not linked to the Wow Audio/Video driver. I've been through a few installations of windows on my 2090 already for various reasons, and those two buttons are the ones that have worked consistently without me doing anything to them.

    My only problem is that after installing the Wow Audio/Video driver, my Wow Audio button still doesn't work...but it's not as if I'm going to use it, so I really don't mind...
