Yeah - Windows Media Player Ver.9+ I believe.
Edit: Oh you need help .. have you tried reinstalling the software? Then right click the icon 'Logitech GamePanel Manager' in the bottom right .. go to programs option .. click configure .. then make sure WMP is ticked.

I can't find anything in WMP to do with the G15 keyboard
In the gamepanel menu thing, the WMP box is checked as well
Latest drivers installed as well....

Yep
It is set as automatic, but when I tried to start it, it says "Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified.

thats your problem then, that service controls the media buttons on keyboard etc
a quick google search came up with this. Give it a try:
If you receive the errror "Could not start the HID Input Service service on Local Computer. Error 2:the system cannot find the file specified." The try the following fix. This involves editing the registry, so please back it up before attempting to make changes.
Solution:
1. "Start", then "Run"
2. Type "regedit" without the quotes, click "OK"
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidServ\Parameters
4. In the right pane, right-click in the blank area and select "New" and "Expandable String Value"
5. Name the value "ServiceDll" without the quotes. Note: it is spelled S E R V I C E D L L
6. Double-click the new entry and enter "%SystemRoot%\System32\hidserv.dll" without quotes as its value
7. Click OK, and close the registry window
8. You should now be able to start the "HID Input Service"

Thought i'd chip in as someone else reading this might have the same problem (search for g15 etc can bring you here)
I lost the use of my mute button on my G15 a few days ago
Mine was fixed by checking what Andeh said
Thing is unless i read wrong i followed black viper's instructions for "Safe" in his Vista OS guide (noticed a few of his "Safe" options have been changed it seems)
Hope you sort it
Ciao
