Why is my new keyboard incompatible with my PC?
Some of our keyboard keys have become intermittent (its like typing
with boxing gloves on). Easily solved though....or that's what I thought. I simply bought a replacement (PS2 standard 102 key qwerty). However, when installed, it produces a boot up error 'Keyboard error Press F1 to continue', accompanied by numerous beeps and flashing of the Lock indicators. It is tempting to blame a faulty port, but it is working fine with the troublesome keyboard. I have double checked the new keyboard on another PC. The only logical conclusion is that it is a compatibility problem. How can this be I plead? I have been unable to find a solution, and appeal for help. I've found nothing to help resolve on the web, although plenty of references to similar problems. I have had to revert to the faulty one. - The PC is 1100Hz AMD on Gigabyte motherboard, running Win98SE. - It is connected on the PS/2 keyboard port. - I have checked the BIOS. - I have reloaded the keyboard driver. |
