I Downloaded Windows 7 On My Laptop And It Disabled Some Controls?
I have an HP tablet laptop and when I downloaded Windows 7 it disabled a lot of the external buttons, such as volume, brightness, and screen orientation. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this?

Sure.
Go to http://support.hp.com and put in the exact model of tablet laptop you have, then download the Quick Launch installer for your model and Windows 7. You might want to grab any other windows 7 drivers you see while you are there.
end of line
Download drivers from the HP website and run Windows Update.
