I installed the offical SP2 onto my Dell i8500 laptop and now the
volume buttons no longer work.. In addition, the DVD play buttons on
the right side of the keyboard no longer work.

Any ideas on how to fix this??

Thanks,

Did you try to reinstall any drivers those buttons needed?

Oooops. Didn't realize it was an Inspiron.

IIRC Inspirons need something called AccessDirect to make those keys
work. Available from the downloads section of Dell's website.
