Keyboard Drivers

Hi. I just installed an off brand usb keyboard which WinXP recognized and said it was ready to use.
Which is true, but not all the keyboard functions work, like resume from Standby, Sleep and I can't change the functions of the 'hot keys'.
Apparently the keyboard operates from a MS Driver (itp2_2lEngallmsi.exe) which was listed in the user's guide and was the only other thing in the box. I have downloaded and saved the driver to my desktop.
My question is, where do I install the MS driver and then how do I direct the keyboard to find and use it? Thanks. deango

Use this little Utility. Works on Windows XP also. You can assign those keys to your liking

Click to expand...

It's installed like any other driver. Double click on the exe file
should do it.

Double click on the downloaded driver present on your desktop and
proceed accordingly.
