My keyboard isn't working now that i've switched mobo's. I figured the driver would still be on the HD just like everything else, but i guess not. I"m using an old one right now. It's an emachines keyboard and the lights light up, but every time i try to install it, it comes up as a USB controller, instead of a keyboard or HID device of any kind. I've been trying to install the drivers, but it keeps telling me that the drivers aren't for the device i'm trying to use. It's straight off of the restore disk. Any suggestions?

Everyone has a humble beginning...

You shouldn't need to install drivers for a keyboard, sounds like your emachines keyboard has given up. Just buy a new keyboard, they are dirt cheap.
