Internet Explorer Update Problems

A co-worker of mine updated her IE updates over the weekend, and now on her keyboard, her hot key button for getting on the internet doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
The key was set up when she bought the computer.

Thanks

 

What kind of keyboard is it? Any software installed for it? Any icon in system tray for it?

 

i will have to ask her. All she said was she updated and now it doesn't work.

 

Also, make sure that IE is set as default browser.

Thanks. I will talk to her at work today, find out the kind of keyboard. I think it is just whatever came with her computer.
I will also tell her to set IE as default.

 

She has an HP computer. Keyboard came with it. Has an "I" key on top that she used to push and would connect her to the internet. Does nothing now after the IE update.
She has not downloaded any software and there is no icon on her system tray for it.
She has only IE for browser, so I would think it is set as default browser, but i did tell her to check.

 

Did a Google for HP hot keys. Found this. This maybe will restore it so she can use it again, but won't find out the reason it did it.
Using the HP hot keys application
The HP hot keys give you one-key access to the programs or documents used most. With the HP hot keys application, you can configure the HP hot keys to open any program or file on the HP Jomada.
Starting the HP hot keys application

1. Click Start , Programs , HP Utilities , and HP hot keys .

Customizing the HP hot keys
When starting the HP hot keys application, the current hot key assignments are displayed in a list. The default key assignments correspond to the program icons printed on the HP hot keys, the top row of keys on the HP Jornada keyboard.
To assign a program or file to a hot key

1. Start the HP hot keys program.
2. In the list, select the hot key to change.
3. Under Assign to , select a program from the drop-down list, or click Browse to select a program or file that is not in the list.

Restoring default hot key assignments
Custom hot key assignments replace the default key assignments; however, you can also use the HP hot keys application to quickly restore the defaults, which correspond to the icons printed on the keys themselves.
