RE: Keyboard Problem - MS Office Keyboard

Keyboards don't have drivers. You are trying to install the software that is
incompatible. Consider buying a new keyboard--the natural ergonomic KB 4000
is not expensive--less than $40, runs with the latest Intellitype software
version 6.1 and will solve your problem. It looks a lot like your keyboard.
I've been using it for a year now and it runs great with Vista.
