look if the cable of your FlopDriv is sitting tight.
go look for a bios of your keyboard. is it bios or driver? dunno, but you start it when booting Windows.

Ok, the prg for solving the keyboard setting is called "key Mapper Pro".

Woah Dude havenÂ´t seen you around for some time the virus must have gotten you good.

Yeah basicly the same things IÂ´d suggest as Kami check all cables in and out of floppy drive,
should be only one and if it firmly connected to the mainboard, maybe go to the BIOS by
pressing DEL on bootup and setting the option "seek floppy drive on boot" to On /Enabled.

The thing about your keyboard seems to be more of a software driver kind of shit up,
I suggest if you have special drivers for your keyboard which implement special functions like
volume up down etc, reinstall it. Or look for new drivers in internet.

Sorry that were my two cents regarding your problem.. :francesco:

About the floopy, make sure the IDE cable connected right.

The red stripe on the cable should be pointiong at the direction of the power cable.

Yep, and if you have the IDE lead round the wrong way then the light on the drive will stay on all the time :Oo:
