Installing drivers for proprietary drivers like those for the HP Quick
Launch Buttons requires validation that the computer is an HP computer
of the correct product type. The error is that your HP computer no
longer has the source for validating to HP that it is the correct
product type. The reason is that you blew away your original
installation, did not make the restore CDs/DVDs, and now have not
resource to correct this error.

Go to www.hp.com, select your country, go to your computer's product
name as shown on the second line of the product tag, and order the HP
restore CDs.
