New Keyboard

[netibiza]

Hi, Simple of Spain here, Can anyone advise me please! I want to buy a new keyboard and cordless mouse, it won't be the same make as the original one. How do I get them to work, just plug in , or do I have to install under "new hardwear" and is it easy. Simple instructions please. I don't want to buy the same make as it cr*p.

Can I ask are you on win XP or something older. Is your keyboard USB or a round ps2 type plug.
You sholud replace like with like for best compatability. If replacing a keyboard on an older computer with a USB one you may have problems. Make sure it comes with driver software before buying.
Otherwise if you have a newish PC with win XP, its basically plug n play, very easy to do.

Yes have Windows XP, but the rest ie USB an' all that is a mystery to me. Suspect that it is a usb plug.

USB plugs are an oblong shape rather than round, so you shouldn't have any problems replacing your keyboard.
