on my HP laptop it runs the "hp update" program in the systray .
At startup yesterday ( I hadn't used in a a month or so), I was notified
that the HP keys software (for vista) was updated.
If you have such an option in CP - turn it on and let the pc find the
update for you.
BTW I did download but not install, if you need the info let me know and
I can get it off the laptop ( not at the house right now)

See if the Compaq "Easy Access Button" (EAB) software is installed
and operating. Look for EABServr.exe and similar.


No files starting with eab.

The search was eab*.*

Look to see if it's in Control Panel; if not, hit the Compaq
website/Support/download the appropriate SoftPAQ.
