Matthew,

The original worked for me fine, and a lot of other people as our Dell
laptops produce 'Dell Inc.' as vendor.  But other peoples return 'Dell
Computer Corporation' and thus it didn't work for them.

But how you determine if these certain laptops produce a keypress
release I don't know with having all of them at hand...

So it needs BOTH 'Dell Inc.' and 'Dell Computer Corporation' to cover
these laptops (I guess), as per the info I got from people running
