keyboard, numpad and touch sensitive media key stops working....

during typing, ill hear a toot sound and boom, keyboard, numpad and touch sensitive media key stops working. My usb mouse still works though. A restart fixes this problem. i have no idea wat is causing this. Since restarting fixes this problem, my bet would be driver problems of some sort...



A look into the hardware manager showed this







any suggestions ?

It looks like HP Quick Launch Buttons is not installed on your computer. You can try the latest version and see if it solves your problem:



Version: 6.50.18.1

The HP Quick Launch Buttons will install a driver for the keyboard. Also you might want to see and make sure that none of the keys on your keyboard are stuck.

I think keyboard filter doesn't have a driver - HP 8510w Win 7. My click on "apply this fix" of Troubleshooting from Device Manager could not fixed this error.
