I've got an Apple USB keyboard I want to use on a pc. XP detects and installs it, but it says there was a problem and under device manager it says the device couldn't start.
Any ideas??
Hmm, yea I got one... take 15 bucks, go to best buy
AND BUY ONE YA CHEAP'O!~!
=)
LoL

I just updated the bios to the last version, and still have the same prob.
Is there any way to fix this? Or is my OB usb just dead??

This is what it's doing on a known good usb mouse.

Hupperware says:
XP needs the mobo drivers to install a USB hub that is matted to the mobo Mine says Asustek USB Controller Before I installed the driver, it didn't work The problem is USB 2.0
XP doesn't handle it without drivers

This is why motherboards ship with a little CD that have magic things on them called drivers. Install the motherboard drivers and XP will establish the connection.
The problem stems from USB 2.0. XP came out well before the new standard and wasn't ready for mobos with USB 2.0 mounted to them.

Your whole problem stems those three little letters... not USB but AMD and VIA
Should have bought Intel
Hupperware
10-29-2002, 11:44 PM
The VIA 4 in 1 driver should do it...

USB 2.0 and XP (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329632)
Do you have XP SP1? Don't worry about your device not working, the problem lies in the Generic Hub. Right click on that and have it search the internet for the driver.

hmm it worked at work, and it is win2k, and at home I dont have sp1 installed that is wierd, your mouse usb style dont work either? Hmm My first guess would be usb toast , but i am not for sure. I guess I can come get it and see again if it works on mine or bring mine over and sp1 it and see what happens
Smizack
10-30-2002, 11:22 AM

O.E. and I.D.10T. errors seem to be involved...

LOL shame shame. I live like 4 blocks from him so I guess I shall snatch it up I dont have the best system but again I only paid 60 bucks for the case and mobo, 32 for my 950 cpu, traded into most of the parts video card, and stuff most of it was just tossed and I cleaned it upa nd it worked. SOmeone played a joke and put vaseline on a usb infrared mouse They tossed it I cleaned it up and wammo works like a champ. ALso Fixing to get a gateway all in one to work on this should be fun

A customer gave me a usb card, and it's all good now.
I still couldn't get sp1 to werk. I think it's because I modified the Kernel. o-well.;) :D :D

Only bad thing... I don't have a delete key. I mean there's one there, but it's actually the backspace key.
Fugger, How do you Ctr+Alt+Del with a mac keyboard??

crtl-option delete {delete is below help}
the apple key is the windows key
USB hub in the keyboard is non operational since I have been unable to locate driver. NBD
I have not found the "prt scrn" button
The volume/mute buttons work abd the CD open button does not work.
Overall a very nice keyboard, super smooth and low profile. Most excelent for counter strike.
NEEDS LEDS!

I found most of the stuff.. But Below my help is the Num lock key. And ctrl+option+num lock does nothing.
I'm getting an El cable for mine. And they are quite nice.
Shaaataaap Joe!!!:D
