N5902 Keyboard and Windows XP

Hello, I just received my new N5902 Multimedia Keyboard. I am wanting to move my desktop computer to the living room for some internet TV. The desktop has XP installed. When I plug in the doggle XP ask me to install the driver, since there is not drive for the keyboard I am at a loss. I have went to Microsoft and installed every update I could find for XP. I have looked foe some type of driver that might help. I plugged it into my laptop with vista and it works great and seems to do everything I want it to. All the information I have found says it will work with XP so I'm hoping I am just over looking something. Thanks in advance.

Jrsy Man,
Myny thanks, iFlex is right the Option + 3 key stroke does not work under XP.
I can work round it but that is annoying, I'd like to solve it.
Does any one else kave any thoughts?

Ok, I just finished doing the clean install and everything works smoothly. I had an issue with the drivers though (the Intel HD control panel didn't work, but I downloaded the most recent version from their website and now it works fine). I didn't have any problems with the Energy Manager with the upgrage nor with the clean installation though. However, what @dylan6994 says is true, until you reinstall the Energy Manager your battery will be stuck in the mode that it was before the update, so I would recommend to install W10 with the conservation mode disabled.Thank you for the information about Energy Manager as that would suck being stuck at 60%. Is there a thread for Y50-70 Windows 10 Upgrades? I keep seeing various posts about issues with drivers on the Y50-70 and I would like to know if any issues like a concise list. The Y50-70 is listed on the compatibility list but always nice to know what drivers will need to be manually installed. I know there was an issue with nVidia drivers has that been fixed? Anyways, thanks for the heads up!

Mac Slim keyboard and Windows

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to activate the keys that would usually work if I hit the "NUM" lock key. I've never used a mac and I bought the keyboard and mouse cause I like it better then anyone I have at work. Can anyone tell me how to activate them? Is there something I need to hit?
Thanks!

In the future, please search the discussions before posting, as there's already an existing thread not too far down in this forum that deals with the keyboard and Windows.

Either way, since there are no Windows drivers for the keyboard, currently there's probably no way to accomplish what you're looking for.

MacBook Pro Keyboard and Windows 7...

O.K. I got Windows 7 installed on my new MacBook Pro with a hitch, and I activated the Function Keys via boot camp. A PC keyboard is a bit different then the one on my MacBook Pro. Is there a guide that has tips and which Mac Keyboard equals a PC keyboard?
I see that the Mac delete key works more like a backspace, is there another key that deletes?
Which one is the PrintScrn keyboard?

Hi,

Apple keyboard and Windows XP

I am using a Mac Mini (Mac OS 10.4.6) with a KVM switching to a Windows XP (sp2) machine.
How can I get the # symbol to appear using an Apple UK format keyboard when using Windows?
I have sorted out the @ and " key problem using a small file from www.parkernet.com/applepro/
But I can't figure the # key.
It does appear if I press the +/- key under the esc key twice, however it produces two (##) not one symbol. It does not produce any symbol if pressed once, but seems to produces other symbols if pressed before other key strokes.
Many thanks

Keyboard and Windows Prod key Question

1. I just bought a second T61 new from Lenovo. The keys on this laptop require a lot of finger pressure to press as compared to the one I bought previously back in Feb 08. Has anything changed? I keep on mis typing and missing words while typing.
2. Also, when I was ordering the laptop, I chose to downgrade to windows XP. It did come with windows XP, but the sticker on the bottom of the laptop says, "Windows Vista Business OEMAct". Does that mean the product key for windows printed below it may also be wrong? I am afraid if I re image the computer at a later point, it will ask for a windows prod key and if there is a wrong one printed at the bottom, I will be screwed. How do I check the product key on the sticker is correct?

I'm not sure about the Windows Key, but as far as keyboards go, the keyboard in the T61 is the exact same as the keyboard in earlier T60 models. I just got a brand new one a month ago and it is perfect, so you may just have a faulty keyboard. I would call Lenovo and ask for a replacement keyboard (I assume you are under warrenty)

Number pad on 10 key keyboard and Windows

For some reason, my 10 key does not work on my keyboard on the Windows (XPSP3) partition. Anyone know of a button to use to turn on the number lock on it? It currently works as if the number lock is not on.
Thanks
PAX

Hi,
for activation of number keys you usually have to press the so-called 'clear'-key.
It's the one directly above the '7'-key of the number pad.
And you usually have to do that only once, as Windows 'remembers' that setting.
In Windows it's called the 'NumLock'-key.

Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse

Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse can be quite a challenge. Even if you use the experimental 2x UI. You can not use your fingers or to quickly change tools and change settings. You have no shortcut without popping up Windows touch keyboard or leave it up taking a great deal of screen space. If you're using the 2x UI Photoshop uses the screen at half resolution so it displays 1/4 the amount of pixels it could.
Fortunately I found a little touchkey utility on the web the lets you design your own touch keyboards. The can be transparent and you can even paint under them as long as you start the stroke outside the keyboard area. The keyboards can be toggles on and off so you can actually use Photoshop. The utility is small and requires not installation can be run form anywhere. I purchased a Surface Pro 3 a week ago. Its a full fledge PC. Through the home group I can access all machines in my house and using network shares I can access all files on my machines and the network drive on my router, I can print on my Epson 4800 printer. I can show slideshow on my HDTV via Bluetooth using a Microsoft wireless display adapter. I can plug in my Wacom Intuos Pro wireless receiver into the USB 3 port and use my Wacom tablet. Have a very touchy machine. Touch on the keyboard touch pad touch on the Display display and on the Wacom tablet. Could have touch on a mouse but I prefer the Microsoft comfort bluetooth mouse that has six buttons and a four way wheel.
As a tablet its under two pounds. Its quite impressive cost why mor the an iPad but worth the cost to me for with windows I can get at the file system. If you have a Surface Pro 3 you should check out "Touchkey" its handy.

Do a screen screen capture and post it here so we can see what you stating about a white layout...

I restarted Windows 8, but now my keyboard and touchpad don't work!

I have an HP Envy M6-1184ca laptop that I got about 4 weeks ago. It's running Windows 8 64-bit. Today, I downloaded and installed VirtualBox and it disabled my wireless adapter for the installation. So, when it was done, I tried to re-enable it, but it wouldn't enable, so I went to reboot. I saw that there were updates available so I chose update and restart. It updated and restarted.
But, when it showed the lock screen, my cursor wasn't there. I tried moving my finger on the touchpad. It didn't work. Clicking did nothing. Typing and pressing keys did nothing, except for the keyboard light key and the brightness controls. I can still log in however since I've got a fingerprint reader. But after it logs me in, everything on the keyboard stops working, even the screen brightness controls and the keyboard light button! I get no error messages whatsoever.
I've tried several hard reboots and nothing fixed it. I'm out of ideas. I don't want to re-install Windows because I have files that can never be recovered, ever. They'd be lost for good. And I haven't backed them up! Please help me!

Hi,
You should still be able to connect a usb keyboard and mouse to use as a workaround in Windows. You should strongly consider running Windows system restore and choosing a restore point before 02/03/2013. That should take care of the majority of the issues.
Afterwards do not run the Windows update in automatic mode. Find out which update that it wants to install and do a Google search for issues with it. You can not have been alone in having this happen.
Reinstall the HP Quick Launch software and the HP Software framework.
If you have Windows 8 Pro as your operating system, then you can use Hyper-V instead of VirtualBox. VirtualBox may have been the root cause.

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

Can I use my apple wireless mouse and keyboard with my Mac Mini and Windows PC?

Hello, I recently dug up a windows PC computer for side projects, and I was able to get by using my wireless apple keyboard and mouse for my Mac mini, and then using a usb mouse for my PC, I want to eliminate the usb keyboard and mouse and just use the bluetooth keyboard. Both computers are usually on all the time, and the windows PC uses a bluetooth adapter. I can get my keyboard and mouse to work on both, but I have to sync them to whatever system I would like everytime I want to use it. Is there any solution that when I choose the Mac Mini my keyboard and mouse will work for the Mac mini, and when I choose my windows pc, the keyboard will only be used on windows without having to resync?

To my knowledge, no.

Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

When I disable my left windows key for gameing using Microsoft keyboard and mouse software, I can no longer type in firefox. How can i fix this?

Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Software that you install with Microsoft keyboard and mice, (latest version) allows you to disable your windows key so that you don't accidentally hit it when gaming. When I take advantage of this feature, I can no longer type in Firefox. Typing in Firefox is completely disabled. Other browsers, windows, applications work, but not Firefox. What is it about the windows key that firefox needs for typing. Strange problem, but annoying because I have to use a different browser while game. Certainly not a deal breaker, but kinda strange.
