Hi All.

First of all, I hope this is the correct section to be adding this topic.

I just recently upgraded my Laptop from Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium to a Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.
This was done through a clean install, so the hard drive was reformatted.
My computer is the
HP Pavillion dv7 1279WM
4 GB Ram
2.00 Ghz
(Additional Specs available on inquiry.)

I went through the computer after the install to check if all the drivers were in place.
I noticed that the only problem I have at the moment is that the Quick Launch Buttons I have on the computer are not working.

To clarify, these are the buttons that are above the keyboard, which controls the mute, volume up, down, forward play/pause, back, stop, and wireless on/off.

Pressing any of them have no effect.
I was wondering where the driver is for me to fix this issue and have the buttons work again.
I have tried redownloading the SOFTWARE PROVIDED by HP for the Quick Launch Buttons here-

It creates a folder under my Program Files x86, but none of the applications in it open. I have messed with compatibility, but none seem to work.

If anyone knows anything about this issue, please let me know. I am happy to provide more info if NEEDED. Or you can walk me through how I should exactly set and do compatibility for the programs.

Also, under device manger, I have four devices that are unknown. I am suspecting that one of these, are actually the quick launch buttons. Might I have to toggle something there?

My knowledge is limited, please let me know what I can do to fix this issue. I thank you beforehand. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
You will need to return to HP for 64bit drivers ...if they are available.Oh, I see.

So perhaps I should simply wait until the driver is released for Windows 7 64 bit right?

Because when I go here

The quick launch software and driver is available for windows vista 64 bit home premium, but not for windows 7 64 bit home premium.

I thought you were able to download it for vista 64 bit home premium, and somehow run it in vista compatibility. Would that work?

Thanks for your response.You can try the Vista 64bit driver...it may work.
It won't hurt anything trying...create a Restore point just in case...It works now, thanks for the replies mate.

What I did was download the one that was compatible for Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and it WORKED after installation. The quick launch buttons work now.

Thanks a bunch.Great News...
