Default Problem: XP (home) reinstall on my laptop . . .

I reformated and reinstalled my XP OS on my laptop yesterday. My computer is running faster, but i noticed that a few things aren't up to par:

(1) the shut down option are limited to "shut down" and "restart."


(2) closing the "lid" gives me the sole option of "do nothing."
* I fiddled with different power schemes, and still the same result.


(3) the not all of the one touch launch buttons (at the top of my laptop) and "mute" buttons (at the side of my laptop) aren't working.
* searched on the HP site for driver and software aps and they aren't available.

Any suggestions?

seems like a case where there was software bundled from the wherehouse built into xp... is it the same windows xp home disk the computer came with?
