"I have an HP SK-2501k keyboard from an old Kayak, that I really like. The IT guys lost the install disk, and Now I'm up to XP and can't program the extra shortcut buttons on the keyboard. This is the first of two drivers that I've tried. This one simply would not install.. "Failed to insert the driver as a keyboard filter driver"."

"Works fine with XP (malformed .doc may not open w/ Wordpad). Definitely worth keeping this old keyboard for. Note: You MUST perform .INF manual install (open the doc with OpenOffice) under WXP!"

"SK-2501 PS/2 Hot Key Keyboard came with my now obsolete Tiny PC using Windows 98 but is far superior to the absolute rubbish supplied with my last Tiny PC which uses Windows XP. Thought I'd be able to swap them since both it and the mouse are fine if you swap while the PC is up and running but PC won't start-up unless I change them back. XP say's - filter not supported. Tr

""Failed to insert the driver as a keyboard filter driver"."

This driver automatically install didn't work. Try manual install.

Otherwise you will become very frustrated."

"Funcioan perfectamente. El instalador no funciona, pero si lo descomprimimos y le indicamos al Windows XP que el driver de esa carpeta es el que queremos instalar, ya todo irá sobre ruedas.

En general, muy bueno."

"On system running XP Pro, the automatic install did not work, but as noted in other users notes, manual install worked well. This driver worked OK - it is for HP keyboard model SK-2501K but my keyboard is SK-2501. On my keyboard the lower four programmable keys are for control of CD player."

"Follow the supplied instructions VERY carefully. Unlike most installs in XP, you need to point directly to the inf file - Not just the directory.

BTW, the mute button does not work for me either.

"Works fine on XP Pro, bit harder then a double click to install though! The install exe didnt work, so I went to update driver from the device manager, and selected my previous normal keyboard. Then chose on 'have disk' and pointed to teh extracted zip file. Installed fine, rebooted, and it works fine - the '?' key brings up the options just fine! Loverly-Juvery!"

Uninstalled it, read your directions & installed your drivers and she's good as gold. Good thing since I have a half dozen of these things I can now get rid of. Thanks."
