    [Driver Request] HP Keyboard SDM4700P on Vista x64

    Hi all, I'm having difficulty locating some keyboard drivers. This particular keyboard has 8 "multimedia" buttons located on the top that I can't use, because I'm not using the right drivers.

    Also, when playing games I can't do multiple key-presses on certain buttons. I.E when pressing the "W" key the game will not register the "C" key. I think use of the proper drivers might solve this.

    Product: Hewlett Packard SDM4700P Keyboard

    Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried actually searching the HP drivers and support page?

    R.E multiple key inputs at once, I wouldn't have though that this was because of a driver issue.

    Yes, the search feature (and HP support forums) show no sign of the keyboard in question, let alone the drivers.

    Yes, I am unsure about this too. My keyboard previous to this accepted the inputs, and it was older, cheaper, but had it's own driver set.

    Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I'd say your chances of finding working x64 drivers for this keyboard are slim to zero.

    These delightful manufacturers would much rather you threw away it away and replaced it with a new equivalent - far more profitable for them than writing drivers for older, although still perfectly serviceable hardware.

    I wish i had better news for you, but yeh i agree, so unlikely. There might be a set of drivers from a different company that will work also, try uninstalling drivers and reinstalling to see if that helps.
