I just bought a new hard drive (Seagate 320 SATA) for my G5. Installed Leopard (clean install) and now the following keys don't work on my Macally IceKey keyboard: eject; sound up; sound down; and mute. I also tried to install Winswitch and can't get it going. Can anyone help me? Thanks
 
I'm bad...Winswitch hasn't been updated for Leopard yet. I hope it's soon. Still the Macally Icekey keyboard is rather annoying.
 
Keyboard issue solved! Just bought a new Apple keyboard. Now if only Winswitch was updated. I'll have to keep checking on that one. Kind of hate to quit the IceKey from MaCally. It really was a nice keyboard but this new one isn't bad. Cheers
 
Universal driver fix

I just found a fix for this problem, on another site (http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=7224925&stqc=true), and now my kb's volume and eject keys are functioning.

Basically, you need to go back to an earlier driver (according to the site, May 2006). Uninstall your current driver and install this universal driver:

Ok, willing to try. Where might my old macally icekey driver be "hiding" so I can delete it?
 
Dug out my icekey and installed the "old" driver. Seems to be working.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH😀😀😀😀😀

sowana, thanks so much for sharing the fix! Cheers
 
Hooray!
