Krazy - when you say you pushed the button are you referring to a bottom above your keyboard?

You may need a driver for that set of buttons. We had a problem like this on a HP laptop at work one time. I can't remember the exact driver, perhaps someone else might know.

Also, verify you have the latest BIOS update.

This may be the driver you are looking for:

alright well after three long days of looking everywhere i finally found the problem. and of course it was something so freaking simple that again i made so hard. all i had to do was go into the setup when i booted my comp and enable the radio. and there ya go. three buttons and a save is all it took. well thanx
