    Thanks for your comment! I had come across SharpKeys 3.0 in the meantime and was able to revive those 'dead' function keys (for this HP keyboard used on a non-HP computer) quite nicely... e.g. F9 was mapped to 00_43 (did nothing on a Sony Vaio) and I mapped it to open Outlook (E0_6C), and mapped F12 to E0_21 (the calculator) etc. Can also recommend this (free) tool.

Here's the Microsoft way - note that all Win7 keyboard shortcuts begin with CTRL-ALT-(your shortcut key here).

Note also that a desktop shortcut must already exist to which to be invoked by the keyboard shortcut.....

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-keyboard-shortcuts-to-open-programs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The way the Internet community does it:
www.autohotkey.com - freeware - allows you to "package" a number of
keystrokes into a "keyboard macro" and invoke that macro thru
the use of a "hotkey." Keyboard macros can be as short as one
function key, but some Win7 function keys cannot be ove-written, such as F5

German keyboard layout problem
The uses for mapping your keyboard are numerous, but remapping your keyboard's keys is not for the squeamish.
There are numerous software applications to map and remap a keyboard's keys.
The best part is that the software is free and easily downloadable via the Internet.
So, go ahead and swap those unused keys on your keyboard to suit your computing experience, and make your keyboard more effective without fear of damaging your computer

Place your mouse pointer over a key on the visual keyboard. Notice that the key is numbered.
To see what function the key is currently assigned to, allow your mouse pointer to hover over the key.
A pop-up displays what the key is attributed to.
Left-click the mouse pointer on a key you wish to change.
Click on Choose New Remapping from the drop-down menu.
Select Remap Key from the Control area on the interface.
You may also opt to disable or enable the key, and reset the default for this key.

Left-click Apply. Look at the list box at the top-left of the interface, labeled "Remapped keys currently in effect."
Ensure that the keyor keys you selected are listed in this list box.

Fix a mistake by resetting the defaults.
Click on the top button adjacent to the list box you just visited.
Pressing this button will remove all the changes to your keyboard mapping.
SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys.

I have kb-0817 gateway keyboard where can I find a pdf file owners manual for the keyboard?
Anything with an F on it has to be used in conjunction with the depression of the Fn key in unison. Anything else will be controlled by either the shift in unison or with the control key in unison with the desired key.

Wireless Keyboard HP RK713A not typing correctly
Try going to Device Manager. Right click on the Keyboard and choose Properties. Click on Update Driver as it might find something (let it look online also). Reboot the computer. If that doesn't work, go to Device Manager, right click on the keyboard, choose Uninstall, and reboot the computer. When the computer starts up and sees the keyboard and loads a driver(s) for it, it might fix it. Good luck.

My Dell Studio 1737 operates the F11 from the numerical 1 key!
1 year old banged on the keyboard, and you wish to know if this did it?
Was it okay before that? Not trying to be impertinent, but seems obvious to me.

Suggest you grab that Windows 7 disk, and perform a Repair. (Non-Destructive Installation)
Let's see what this does before we go on.

Post back in a Comment.

Where is the switch on my laptop that turns on wireless receiver
Your functions key on the top of the keyboard will have a blue antena icon on it. Most of the time its F9. You will also see a function key on the bottom left of the keyboard, a blue "Fn" key.

Press Fn and F9 (or the key with antena) together. Your wireless will be on.

Below is the image of the Notebook keyboard, the key to be pressed in highlighted in Red.

No OS stated, is this windows or linux or freedos.?
This PC came with VISTA in the USA< is it still vista? or slammed with some other alien OS. (not using HP install media)

windows WHAT, must we beg ?
Testing 1,2,3, simple as falling off a log. really.
ok try something more useful
find any usb keyboard,real and plug it in (barrow one?)

does that work?. if yes, good, if not the OS is corrupted.
(know that corruption has endless possibles) ask.

try a real keyboard, all USB work on your LAPTOP
if that fails, then your OS is corrupted,
if that works, the USB key board, then your internal keyboard is bad, time for a new one, for sure.

Be Backed up first your DATA backed up 1st !
then

RECOVERY HP WAYS:
power on button
then quickly hammer the F11 key,
this is the HP magic F11 recovery key.
then do a full recover.
if you PC was slammed with MS disks , F11 is now dead forever.
the book books is free, we are not HP here.
HP.com is HP.

your sevice manual is at HP. hot at fixya .
