Okay here's the deal...

My keyboard (Logitech Internet Navigator) isn't recognized by the logitech setpoint software because logitech own't support it anymore, and the itouch software won't let me use my pause/stop/play/forward/backward buttons in vista.
BUT I noticed that if I plug in my sister's logitech PS/2 keyboard which IS supported it becomes recognized by setpoint, and then the play/pause/etc actually work for BOTH keyboard...until i disconnect the ps2 keyboard.

So my question is is there any way to trick windows into thinking that my keyboard is that other keyboard, or to just trick setpoint?:huh:

Can you force install the drivers of the keyboard? Let's it doesn't crash the windows.

Congratz, Skiz... you've really entered the pantheon...not only did you make a suggestion that someone followed but it didn't work.

Now, if you can somehow imply that it screwed up due to something they did wrong, you'll have reached my level.

Or do as I do. No matter what the problem. Blame it on their POS psu. And tell them to get an Antec.

Can you show Ross how to connect an Antec up to his keyboard?

Good job it's not cordless, I don't think Antec make batteries.
