Keyboard filter?

This keyboard filter is tied to HP/Compaqs Quick keys at the top of the keyboard for their laptops. What you want to do is remove the quick-launch software from the machine do your upgrade then install the newest quick-launch softpaq.
Sorry I didn't see this post when it went up I have been messing with two hp and a compaq laptop so I know this comes up when doing the upgrade from vista to windows 7.

Hi,

How do I remove the quick launch software from my machine?

Thanks

I found it in control panel "uninstall programs" called "HP Quick Keys" or some such. I had to reboot to get Windows 7 compatability check to say it was OK. Seems to be running now, cross fingers.

Thanks for help everybody.
(As this was an HP computer with a Win7 upgrade driver disk provided by HP, It kind of annoys me that most of the incompatible programs found were HP ones. They could have fixed these issues in the first disk.)

Heh, sadly I've found HP to be at best downright sluggish and at worst completely obstinant about upgrading their software/drivers to work with the latest OS offerings

They make some good equipment, but I've had to completely stop buying from them because of that. Got burned on a printer that was only a year old that they would not support in XP when that came out. I still smoulder over it

do I need the quick launch software? can I just remove that and be done with it? upgrading from vista to 7, Im getting the message also, that the "keyboard filter" is not compatible.
