Default media centre keyboard Q

Right, I have one of these keyboards:


and, as it was designed for XP media center, which had media centre messenger.
Vista Premium doesnt have this, so it is a dead button. So, is there any way to reprogram the button so it opens windows live messenger instead. I'm guessing all youd have to do is accociate the button with the target link, but I have no idea how to do this, or if its possible.

Can anybody help?
Cheers

Did the keyboard come with a Drivers/Manual CD?

If so then it will probably be on it.

I would also imagine, knowing micro$oft, there is an application on the CD that will allow you to do this.

Nope, just was a brief setup manual and the keyboard. Thats it. The manual tells you how to make it work with other devices like TV's and stereos, but not how to reprogram buttons

I am guessing that this is the same keyboard? If so, there is a software download on the right side of the screen.

Hope this helps.

that just a general software link, and the only software is what you need to get it working with XP media centre edition
