I had a nasty trojan some days ago. I gave up and reinstalled win XP pro.

All is well again except I can't sleep the PC with the Genius keyboard sleep button.

Q is there an installation disk for their model KB 0138?

Bye and thanks

Dear Xp user,
The link indeed took me to a place where they said that not only did they have the keyboard driver I needed but also they would scan my computer to see if there were any out of date drivers. The program called uniblue did this and proudly announced I had 8 ancient drivers. This sounded to me like the false virus detectors. Fortunately I pass all my new program installations through a program that records the new registry entries, scripts and their ilk.

So I was able to undo Uniblue and its wealth of changes, 147 places where it had trod.

I tried other net places... looking for the KB-0138 drivers.

Strangely it was very difficult to get anything except that each made an offer to scan my computer free for dud drivers.

Is there no place on the net that has drivers for my particular keyboard? ( KB-0138 ) ?

But anyway bye and thanks.

Fred

PS I wonder what would have happened to my PC if I had agreed to change the 8 drivers?

ah and PPS Genius itself doesn't have a direct web site but rather sublets to others.

Bye again
