Volume / Mute Buttons on ThinkPad T23

I just bought a used IBM ThinkPad 23. I believe XP Professional was
installed fresh, and in the process, it seems as if the ThinkPad
buttons have been disabled (ThinkPad, Volume Down, Volume Up, Mute).

Can anyone walk me though how to activate these buttons? Do I need to
re-install an IBM driver?

Thanks!

Steve

I would propose you start here

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...TVSU-UPDATE#hp

to get all latest Thinkpad drivers for your machine.

Hmmm...that didn't seem to work. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

So you installed/reinstalled all of the drivers from these lists?

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...cid=MIGR-41987
Including the Keyboard Customizer Utility?

Unfortunately I'm out of more ideas.

Actually...it worked! I just didn't notice because there is no
indicator on the screen, and the system volume control is unaffected
when I adjust the volume by pushing the buttons. Weird.

But, thanks!
