| 441691 | 2006-03-29 09:32:00 | i guess i should be grateful that i have the KB on startup. i can also enable it after i get into windows (XP pro). odd thing is tho, it's the same xp, the same KB (i've tried another kb...same) and when i go into system/keyboard>>it's enabled. and doing just fine according to the million ways you can dabble with anything in xp. so i disable it, then enable it...voila. so, i shouldn't complain much. i just hope i remember to disconnect the kb before i huck it out the window (or at the windows) any ideas? i'll send a cigar to the ppl that have the "correct" idea. i'm new here, so i'll say hi too (just cuz my kb is workin' and i'm taking advantage) 30 |

| 441692 | 2006-03-29 13:47:00 | What type of keyboard and interface (ps/2 or usb?) Some things that are safe to do, is delete/remove/uninstall the keyboard from device manager, restart and let it reload again, then test if it's working, then restart and test again to see if it works. Go to the vendor website of your keyboard and download any drivers they have and try those on it. That's about all I can think of. Cheers, KK |

| 441693 | 2006-03-29 15:38:00 | Apparently the generic drivers work (or it wouldn't work in BIOS) Try starting windows in safe mode, and like the post before - uninstall-reinstall the latest drivers | TiJay (6055) | ||
| 441694 | 2006-03-29 20:02:00 | First....What kinda cigar are you offering? | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 441695 | 2006-03-29 20:41:00 | Yep. Driver problem. Its not an MS kB is it? | pctek (84) | ||
| 441696 | 2006-03-30 03:50:00 | The BIOS setting for "legacy support for human interface devices" sometimes gives trouble if it's set wrongly. It's intended to make USB keyboards and mice work properly. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 441697 | 2006-03-31 10:19:00 | ok kame>>>have a cigar! sheesh, i can't believe i didn't do that a long time ago. i kept on diableing/enableing like a lemming. i wonder if you could shorten the work day by buying only 6 paks of beer. and sorry joe, the cigars are only for clever keyboard/fixer/techies. besides, they'll prob clash with the pills and the brew. thanx all who responded to a very dumb question. spud |

| 441700 | 2006-04-02 17:13:00 | spud, If uninstalling worked fine once, I didn't mention what problems you may run into, and that is Windows Update. In some cases, the driver that is currently installed is perfectly fine, then all of a sudden Windows Updates it (probably without you knowing) to a driver that just does not work and this is when problems start. If you are certain that it's not a Windows Update, then I guess I shouldn't suggest that you set Windows Update to ignore that driver update. When you remove it and let it reload, what driver has it got installed and version. Then when it plays up, check to see if anything has changed, also might pay to make notes of what files it uses for the driver, just incase any of these change. You might even need to do a BIOS update. Cheers, KK |
