This might be a question for programming.but I have these HP wireless keyboard/mouse units. You plug them into an xp machine and they work fine, but none of the buttons across the top work, like buttons for applications, web pages etc.
Hp Classic Wireless Keyboard And Mouse. What's Included. HP Classic Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse, Wireless receiver, USB connector, 4 AAA batteries. 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard and Optical Mouse HP Wireless Classic. Hewlett Packard (HP). Hp wireless mouse model number 5219urf 2+ p/n.
The one feature it does have across the top that I want is a volume control knob and a mute button. Which for my music setup would be really nice to have. One time the volume control was working.
I tried different drivers but haven't had any luck. In control panel If I delete the HID driver (under keyboard) then the volume control works like I want. Unfortunately then the keyboard doesn't work. My friend got these with some computers he bought but he didn't like them and gave them to me. It has a part number on the back but I think that is for the computer system as a whole. 5187-5993 FCC ID E5xkb5219urf2 model 5219urf 2+ I have a shuttle control that reads keystrokes and it sees the volup voldown mute messages when I turn the knob or press mute but it's not hooked up to the system contols.
So some type of 3rd party software might do the trick. Any help appreciated Thanks. Well since u r owning a product of Hp i recommend u to search for the drivers in the hp.com website. Use the steps in this document to solve a wide variety of wireless keyboard and mouse issues.
NOTE: If your wireless optical mouse flashes when it is not in use, this is the normal activity of the mouse. The mouse is not defective. If your wireless mouse or keyboard is not working properly, check the following: If the wireless mouse jumps or does not track well, it may be due to the surface you are using. Place the mouse on a light-colored mouse pad or white sheet of paper, and then check its operation. NOTE: Use the wireless mouse on an opaque surface.

If the receiver is a USB receiver, unplug it, wait for five seconds, and then plug it back in. Wait about five more seconds and then test the mouse and keyboard again. Reset the keyboard and mouse connections: NOTE: The following connection sequence must be completed within 60 seconds. Press and hold the recessed connect button on the underside of the keyboard for ten seconds (not the Internet connect button on the top of the keyboard). When you release the button, make sure it does not stick in the depressed position.
