Well, i broke my old keyboard so i thought, why not just plug the USB one in but nooo, it won't work, and i can't get the old one to work either. Apparently you have to program the usb with a old keyboard like the bios crap. but guess what i can't get either keyboard to work.With the windows help menu i went to keyboard and it says it is working fine..but no it isn't and when i have the keyboard and mouse plugged in the mouse is messed up and lagging and the keyboard doesn't even work. so recap: old keyboard=not usb, doesn't work :new keyboard= usb not workING! ahhh stupid i went to Hp and downloaded 100000000 drivers and nothing anythoughts ...i have candy?
