Hi,

I just bought a new PS/2 keyboard from CompUSA and it does exactly squat ! The old keyboard ( the one I'm using now ) has usb. I also bought an optical mouse (usb) and it works great, no problems. The old mouse was PS/2. The first thing I installed was the mouse, and like i said, no problems. Then I try to install the new keyboard.....Nothing. I'ts like it's not even there. Windows won't detect it, the "Add new hardware" utility in Control Panel won't detect it either. Whatever happened to plug-n-play? What am i doing wrong?
