Media keys on Keyboard not working

[goodiesguy]

Well I've got my old keyboard and mouse going again, as I bought a USB to PS/2 adapter. But the media keys aren't working.

The keyboard is labtec media wireless keyboard 800 (keyboard only, I'm using a wired A4tech mouse)


Any thoughts on how to maybe get them working again, Or is this just due to it being too old technology?

May need drivers. These may or may not work http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEY...-51-WHQL.shtml

Or find out what the main site is for it

Nope no luck. When I press the media buttons, it just does random things. Like scrolling through my playlist and icons etc..

Hmm looks like its a Logitech, they own Labtech. Cant do much if they dont work then

Oddly though, the sleep button worked. Even more odd, when I press the calculator button, it thinks it's the F key, but the F key itself is fine. The home button thinks it's the M key. Mute now thinks its D. Volumes up and down think they C and B. Fast foward is P. Play and stop are G and J.

It's as almost as if they're wrongly mapped, and I've since even uninstalled the labtech software.

If it helps my Mouse is an A4Tech SWOP-35

I bought a USB to PS/2 adapter

By any chance is the Adapter being used to convert usb-PS2 on the keyboard ? If so use it as a USB keyboard, those adapters often muck things up if on a keyboard. If its for the Mouse its usually OK.

Nope, Both my keyboard and mouse are PS/2 only, otherwise I wouldn't have needed the adapter at all.
