Windows 7 HP quick launch buttons wont work (eject button)

[feliou]

Hi,

I have an hp dv3z-1000, windows 7 x64 bit windows - I recently clean installed

I downloaded the driver I need for the hp quick launch buttons, but my eject button won't work. I press it and my cd does not eject.

It is not my cd drive. I can manually eject it by going to my computer/device manager.

Please help!!!
