On my laptop i have 3 'Easy Access Buttons or Hardware Buttons.
One has a 'fan Symbol 'and i have no idea what is does or if it works,one
that launches internet explorer and DOES work ,but that bugs me is the one
to switch on the wireless radio to access the internet.The Intelpro wireless
bg 2200 9wich is correctly configured,keeps telling me to switch on the the
wireless with the hardware button ..but no joy.i reinstalled the keyboard
drivers,Windows,Intel driver etc,disabled windows to manage my wireless
,checked bios settings,but this button will not cooperate.
Any one knows if there is any special software or drivers out there just for
these buttons to reassign them or can something in the registry be tampered
with to switch this on..
Regards
 
a model number of the laptop might help and manufactors name

My crystal ball can't seem to get through to you... are you wearing a
tinfoil beanie or are you a moron? It has problems with both.
 
the laptop is an Iqon(ireland) model LM1W,running xp sp2, but it is actually
an Everex Stepnote lm7wz.All the drivers on Iqon website are the same as the
ones from everex.

On my laptop,Iqon lm1w series (basicly an Everex stepnote lm7wz)i have 3
'Easy Access Buttons or Hardware Buttons.
One has a 'fan Symbol 'and i have no idea what is does or if it works,one
that launches internet explorer and DOES work ,but that bugs me is the one
to switch on the wireless radio to access the internet.The Intelpro wireless
bg 2200 9wich is correctly configured,keeps telling me to switch on the the
wireless with the hardware button ..but no joy.i reinstalled the keyboard
drivers,Windows,Intel driver etc,disabled windows to manage my wireless
,checked bios settings,but this button will not cooperate.
Any one knows if there is any special software or drivers out there just for
these buttons to reassign them or can something in the registry be tampered
with to switch this on..
