Drivers for HP 5187-7583?

X

XS11E

I'd like to use the keyboard from my old HP computer with my new one

but I can't find any Win7 drivers so none of the media or internet keys function.



HP provides drivers for Vista 64 but none for Win7 64 nor have I had

any luck finding any????



I keep coming up with stuff like:

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Desktop-PC-questions/HP-5187-driver-needed-for-WIN7/m-p/247482

so it looks like I'm not alone...



Any help?

Have you tried the Vista drivers? There's a chance they might work...

It is. In fact, it could have been called something like Vista Second

Edition (as Microsoft did with Windows 98). Under the hood Vista is

Windows 6.0 and Windows 7 is Windows 6.1, an upgrade to 6.0, not a

whole new operating system. What Microsoft decides to call something

is a marketing decision, not a technical one, and they apparently

decided that giving it a new name would be likely to sell more copies.



And in fact, Vista drivers sometimes work with Windows 7. But in this

case, he tried the Windows Vista drivers and they did *not* work.

Simple...because Windows 7 is not Vista, nor is it Vista SE. It is

Windows 7.

Period.

I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to offer that as an

explanation, I didn't count on your limitless idiocy apparently...

When you say did not work Did they install or did the install not work. If

the later right click the setup Exe select properties then the compatibility

tab and then Vista. Ok back out and Install

You can count on it with each and every post of his. Fact is Vista is NT

6.0 and Win 7 is NT 6.1. To anyone with a brain, that means that 7 is

Vista SE. Course with the very bad name Vista brought upon itself, I can

understand why the marketing dept. of MS wanted to do away with the name.

Only and idiot like you would make such a stupid comment as you just made.

Let me prove my point:

Try ordering a Vista SE OS.

Post back with your findings.

Because they are two different operating systems. In some cases Vista

drivers work on Windows 7, in other (probably most) cases they don't.

That's about as sensible an answer as Frank's, I'm really disappointed

in you.....



I know they're two different OSs, the question is WHAT SPECIFIC

DIFFERENCE is preventing the Vista driver from working? I'm hoping

it'll turn out to be something as simple as 'decorating' a Win32 driver

to make it work in Win64.
