I need a program to edit Keyboard hotkeys

I have got myself a belkin F8E829-BNDL keyboard/mouse and the supplied software for the extra keys doesn't work. Does anybody know of a program that can read them and assign actions to them. I know one exsists as I came across one years ago but can't remember what is was called.

Thanks

 

Sorry for the confusion, I'm running XP Pro X64 SP2. I was given this keyboard as the person that brought it couldn't get the extra keys to work in XP Home SP2&SP3. I've tried the stuff from belkin and we emailed thier support about 4 weeks ago without an answer yet. If I can't get this to work on my PC then it'll just be taken back to PC World. But I would like to get it to work as the keys are light with dark lettering (most are dark keys and white lettering that ?I don't like) and has a really nice action for typing.

I came across a program a while back that would let you press a key and then assign an action/macro to it. I had at the time an A4 keyboard that served me well untill a cup of coffee took a liking to it. I can remember the program reading the extra buttons on that. And No there is no A4 tech software installed as I was running XP Pro X86 SP3 at the time.

Thanks

 

Belkin site just say's windows/Mac no version for each and the box just says windows/mac compatible. The driver/extra program loads in the system tray and I can edit the settings for the extra keys. They just don't register. This was the case for XP Home SP3 as well. I have since tried a few different A4Tech drivers and some register some keys but I havn't found one that will read all the extra keys. So At least I know they are physically working even if Belkins own drivers don't see them.

 

done that over 4 weeks ago when the extra keys failed to work on XP home (x86) and then again the other day when I tried it on my X64 system. Just got the standard auto reply that they have received the inquirey. I have since tried it under vista with the SAME non working results. I also managed to try it on a Mac OsX 10.5 and they work, so at least I know there is nothing physically wrong with the keyboard just the drivers.

 

I have just got a reply from belkin and after waiting about 6 weeks it kind of pathetic.

Here it is this is what I sent them.

I plugged this keyboard/Mouse bundle in then installed the software thats was on the CD ( I have even downloaded and tried the software from this site). I then reset when it asked me to and when windows was loaded I found that the extra buttons (home/favorites,email,search,my documents,my computer,desktop,calandar, f lock) do NOT work. The Little icon does appear in my task bar. I have tried changing the the actions of the buttons but they don't seem to reed in WindowsXP SP3. I have no other keyboard mouse driver running as I had a very plain keyboard previosly. I have since tried this on windows vista and it still didn't work, and a Mac OSX and it worked on the Mac. Please Help.

So basically they are willing to change the keyboard (which is good) even though I have kind of already told them it's the software thats at fault.
