but i dont want to plug and play all day...

Suggest that you post the brand and full model of the mobo/system in question.
Perhaps another member here has the same component.

good idea

Mobo- Chaintech 7AJA2-E KT133 Via mobo.
Windows XP build 2600 plus all updates.
Amd Duron 1.0ghz @ o/c 1.1ghz.
512mb Kingston valueram.
Memorex 2700 internet keyboard ps/2
or
Emachines Windows Keyboard ps/2
both good.

I find through ms that there is an issue between Windows XP and some mobos reguarding conflicts between ps/2 ports and the usb ports., i have tired all the solutuions only to still be forced to playandplug somemore.

But i have now bought a logitech internet kb that i like much better and its usb so no more problems!
