Eject button(keyboard) of my insprion 1545 is not working

[jeevsmyd]

I bought a Dell inspiron 1545 just about an year ago.It was working smoothly till now.A few days back I installed windows 7 and the eject button on the keyboard started having problems.At times it wont work , a reboot might solve it , but the problem keeps on show up again..The eject button on the tray is working perfectly ! What do I do to solve this problem?!! please help me

Use the eject button on the tray (kind of a version of "Patient: Doctor it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Stop doing that").

Seriously though, if this is a special feature on the Dell keyboard, then there is probably some code that supports it and that code may not be compatible with Win 7. I suggest that you find a Dell forum and ask the question there and also contact Dell support.
