HP Media Center PC Getting Started Guide
Problem
When I push one
of the special or
multimedia buttons
on the keyboard,
nothing happens.
My keyboard doesn't
work, even though
the computer and
monitor seem to
work.
Solution
Check the button configuration. To configure the button:
1
Click Start on the taskbar, and then click Control Panel.
2
Click Printers and Other Hardware, if it is present.
3
Double-click Keyboard.
4
In the Keyboard Properties window that opens, click the Buttons
tab.
5
Double-click the button you want to change. The button
configuration window opens.
6
Choose the button capability from the drop-down list. Enter the
Display label and the Address information. (For a Web site, enter
the complete Web site URL in the Address box.)
7
Click OK and then on the Buttons tab, click Apply.
8
Repeat steps 6 through 9 for each button you want to configure.
9
Click OK when you are finished configuring the keyboard.
If the PC beeps repeatedly, or if nothing happens when you press
■
keys, it's possible that the keyboard is connected improperly:
Wireless keyboards only: Make sure the receiver is firmly
■
connected to the USB port on the back or front of the computer.
Try unplugging and replugging the receiver cable.
PS/2 keyboards only: Check that the cable connector pins are
■
straight. Make sure the keyboard is connected to the keyboard
port, not to the mouse port. If you need to reconnect these two
cables, turn the computer off, reconnect the cables, and then
turn the computer back on.
Try restarting the computer: Click Start, select Turn Off
■
Computer, and click Restart. If that doesn't work, press and
hold the computer On button until the computer turns off
(approximately five seconds). Then turn the computer back on.
