adding a KB with "hot keys"
I recently added a Firefly Borealis illuminated keyboard (hardware) to my
system. I loaded in the included driver (CD) and get a message that "mHotkey.exe has encountered a problem and must close (etc.)". the result is that, though the KB works, the hot key functions do not ... excepting the standby or shut down hot key. I've uninstalled & then re-installed the drivers to no avail. anyone know how I can get this KB to work properly with my system? thanks!

Have you checked with keyboard manufacture tech support? Perhaps they
have a new driver that is compatible or have seen this issue before? BlairKing wrote: I recently added a Firefly Borealis illuminated keyboard (hardware) to my system.

As with most hardware drivers included in the hardware kit, you need to check for updated drivers.

A: No generally not. Most versions of Windows OS, particularly the later ones, provide full multimedia functionality without having to load the FireFly driver, but if an early version of Windows OS is being used that does not allow complete multimedia functionality, loading the FireFly driver will overcome this to give full use of the multimedia hotkeys provided with the FireFly Borealis keyboard.
