Keyboard Driver

I decided to add 1GB of ram to my @ne and to install Windows on the same. All went fine, next step is to improve it with a 30GB HD.

And now the problem, after installing new OS i realized that the keyboard was all "twisted off", the shift-plus keys aren`t working normally. As an example: Usually you press Shift-plus-8 to get this ( (Shift+2="(" ) but i need to press Shift+9 to get ( otherwise i get a * (When press Shift+8). As you see, the keyboard went crazy!!!

What could this be?

PS: Already installed Windows 3 times (Not because of this problem), the issue remained .

PPS: Do you think it was a good ebay deal to buy a 30GB 5mm plus shipping, in total 48euros?

Much appreciated, Souza.

 

I think you messed up your KBs ribbon cable....

 

But the first time i installed WinOS the problem came up already, i thought it was the missing drivers.
Second time i installed, was to Format FAT32, before i did it Ntsf.
Then, i've modded the computer adding the Ram. Windows was freezing again, even with more 1GB of ram, it became faster but i thought the freezing should not happen. Well, installed again the Windows. (Then i discovered that the problem is the SSD, righting speeds are low).

As you can see, the issue with the keyboard appeared at the first time i installed Windows, not after the Ram adding. Im pretty sure that reinstall windows will not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

 

install a different version of windows try tiny xp and see if that has any effect...

 

Have you installed the correct country keyboard i.e. UK British ? Different countries have different keyboards (UK has shift 2 = double quote but the USA keyboard shift 2 is the 'at' sign.

 

How can i get this kind of driver? Mine is not up to date (Using driver from 2001)?

 

actualkly, you don't need the driver... as long as you install the xp, it will ask you first ( after the dos - like installation ) what keyboard settings you want to have. "US" should be the default but if you purchased the xp installer in another country, it may change. i believe you can still set it up to US settings but i dunno where...
