Please note this now in the PIT and not in the original poster’s thread. Learn something people.

Omniscient: As I stated I have the brand of computer in question and have used the solution. Why the Hell do you have to keep going on. The person said they knew very little about computers and I gave them the link to get the help they need. You speculate and nittpick after admitting you don’t own a HP computer. Zip files contain any type of file, and the self extracting are executables. Executable zip files are the best download for an a novice cumputer user.
I get sick of going to the trouble of explaining something in a manner the poster will understand, to have people continue to post with speculations. Speculating just confuses them. I would have given the person the link to the keyboard file had they mentioned the model number.
For Everybody: The question has been answered correctly with the links and details. To the rest of the people that don’t know, and think maybe this or that could work. The poster doesn’t need a ton more of shit.
I don’t care if other people post that have something helpful, just stop posting speculations, after a solution has been given. The times for what if’s is past.
This is a kinder gentler pit thread than what I want to say. I would truely like to use explicitudes to burn your ears, but wish to retain a non-skanky reputation on this board.
After writing this, I don’t even feel like posting it, but it took awhile to write. This post was mainly an attack on people that just keep posting wild ass guesses, after a solution is found.
