Driver for 5185 compaq keyboard

Comment:
Hi I just bought this keyboard today from a pawn shop, no drivers with it, I found a driver for it from someone on this forum in a earlier post cause I did a search for it before I posted to the board. The driver is for any 518X keyboard from Compaq/HP. The volume buttons work, so does the help, but all other buttons are not in the right place as the image in the program.Can anyone help me out. Thanks

Typically drivers are OS, not computer specific - did you try the one listed?
Does your system meet the following?
Operating system(s): Microsoft Windows 98

Well jboy, I did download that driver, installed it, but it screwed my computer over, I couldn't open windows explorer or control panel to uninstall that driver, so i had to restore a previous date, but thanks for trying to help.

Sorry about that - you'd think that a peripheral component such as a keyboard would have independent drivers. I'd suggest driverguide maybe (currently down though)

How ironic I bought this keyboard (was still ununsed-in box) on or about same day. None-theless. I'm going to look around. Jamespb
