Then when I turn the computer on, it keeps beeping as if a key is pressed (in fact it isn't). The computer stops beeping when I pull the keyboard out. The computer did not respond when I press keys on the keyboard. The LEDs on the keyboard were not lighting. Then I tried other keyboards on this computer and the problem did not go away. However all of these keyboards behave normally when I plug them onto my other computer - a Pentium. Where do you think the problems lie on? How can I fix them? Mark	farnell_mark (1461)
