frequently, e.g. to use the mouse.

8. Troubleshooting
• The Multimedia Keyboard does not work properly
Make sure all other keyboard software has been removed from your PC. If not, remove the
other software, restart your computer and re-install the Multimedia Keyboard Software.
• “Previous track” and “Next track” do not stop
When these hot keys are held down the CD player normally continues searching for the next or
previous track. If this does not work it is due to the speed of your CD-ROM drive. The use of a
high performance CD-ROM drive is recommended.

Make sure you have installed Windows® Media Player 6 or later. You can down load Media
Player 6 or 7 from the Microsoft® Web site.
