Hi Sledge,
Oh well.. plan A's gone..
Have you tried another keyboard? Also, do you get any lights come up on the keyboard, before it stops? Check the pins on the socket. If you have a boot disk, can get you get to a command prompt with it? A keyboard doesn't need an OS running to use, so see if a boot disk works. If so, then we can copy over the drivers from that.
A few to answer..
Cheers
Liam
