I have a Packard Bell computer with small extra buttons above the usual buttons on my keyboard. When I baught it, it hade a software called ActivBoard" and it managed these buttons functions. Does anyone know where I can get "ActivBoard" again?

I just did a search with Google (you should do the same btw) and i found this:
1. Packard Bell Keyboard drivers (http://support.packardbell-europe.com/support/download/itemnr/REFFIUP01380100.asp?c=ap)
2. Or this Packard Bell Home Page (http://www.packardbell.com.au/About/press_details.asp?CID=1&PID=23)
3. Google Search results to check for yourself.. (http://www.google.nl/search?q=packard+bell+ActivBoard&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=nl&lr=)
Good Luck!

Well i must say the last link looked very promising.. but why didn't it work?
And what happend to your original disc in the first place?
Can't you get it from a local Packard Bell dealer?
I give up sorry.. because i can't tryout the search results.. sorry okay?
Hope you find a solution soon!
Good Luck man!

:lol: Do you know where I can see what port my keyboard is connected to (COM)
I just gotta know that.. Then it might work.. :)
There never was an original disk. It came on the harddrive when I baught the CPU.. It don't think I can get it from alocal dealer.. It only comes with new PB computers. If I only knew what COm-port my keyboard was connected to I just might make it..

Uhm good question... it's not on any COM port as far as i know.. it's on a serial port! (or that the same thing?)
What options does it give you?

Well COM1 is usually used for the mouse.
COM2 was for the old dialup modem.
But i must say that everything go's automatic with the new AT mother Boards.
Can't you just try some ports untill it works?
I just can't believe this is a setup for your keyboard??? Strange! :blink:

But you still did not answer my previous question!
