Multimedia keys on laptops working in Vista x64?
I thought I'd had my Vostro 1710 all configured for x64 SP1 (with all updates), when I noticed the multimedia keys do nothing (e.g. Volume).
Device Manager lists it as a Standard PS/2 keyboard, which AFAIK is appropriate. Dell offers no keyboard driver for any platform that I can see. There's nothing to do in the Keyboard Control Panel applet.
Since the keys did work in XP, is this a Vista glitch in general, maybe x64 specifically, or a case of a needed but missing driver?

I'm told that the 32-bit Dell Quickset app for my model doesn't work on x64, and the x64 version for other models doesn't even install on mine ("unsupported system"). However, there's something called Dell ControlPoint System Manager, in a x64 version for another model, which does install on Vostros and apparently (mostly) works, so I'll try that next. Anyone with experience to relate?
