"Might not be the driver as far as the keyboard not working because I haven't fixed it yet. However, the error message "not able to find msmixmgr.dll" started immediately after install. Going to try a different file. I did re-extract the files twice and still got the exact same message upon reboot. It caused the osd to protective fault in osd.exe at 0003:0318. no

This was the easiest one by far to install and configure, the only problem I find that the internet light on keyboard did not come on, {the way I see it I`m just too lazy to change the bulb...}"

"Well, after 2 attempts and 2hrs on the phone with HP, I decided to uninstall all keyboard drivers, leave keyboard plugged in, and restart machine. My keyboard manager disappeared and I ended up with a device manager that told me that I had a 101/102 Microsoft keyboard. I then reinstalled this driver over the existind default driver and it worked beautifully. The picture of

"Installed well, Stable? well, it has worked everytime in 16 restarts. Working with my system? Yes, it works fine, but it is a netropa driver, so it also has a ticker which got installed with the driver. While it is slightly annoying, the use of MANY, NOT ALL of my MM keys absolutely offsets the ticker. You will have to push a few keys to see which is which, and adjust from

I am able to change the configurations on the screen display. I installed it on a Gateway GP7-500 with Windows 98. I am very pleased with this driver. THANKS!!!!!!!"

"This driver provided most of the funtionality of my SK-2506, P/N 5183-9980 keyboard. However, it does not provide for the CONNECT function not light te LED under the CONNECT button.

This keyboard is attached to a Pavilion XL753 PC that OEM was Windows ME but I upgraded to XP Pro.

Any help or other driver known of that would provide the CONNECT function?

Thanks.

"Finally, the real deal! Last year I tried HP's XP driver for the SK2506 Multimedia Keyboard and it crashed my system with a constant 100% cpu usage. (Later I noticed it removed from HP site). The button programming interface for this driver is superior to the original Win98 program that came with my Pavilion - I'm very pleased, thanks!"

"I use WinXP, my keyboard is a HP Model No. SK-2506 as I can read from the rear label of it. The On-Screen display works fine for the Volume control knob and Mute button. But the other buttons doesn't work. When I try to configure it, it seems to be another keyboard model, just for the button's arrange.
