I have the same problem but with a different keyboard.

I have been using a ps2 keyboard with no problem for months now. I have recently purchased a USB keyboard Eclipse II by Saitek. The keyboard is detected and usable in the Bios configuration buy when I get to the loggin screen in vistax64, it does not work anymore.

Saitek website says it should work with the default windows generic keyboard config. But my computer detected it as a Human Interface Device (Saitek Eclipse II) and asks for drivers? It does showed connected in the USB hub. Can I force it to use the generic windows drivers? Can I download some other drivers? The keyboard is basic with some fancy lights.

Vista is fully up to date with all the current patchs. Any help would be much appreciated.

Shawn.

MY system is:

Asus M2A-VM motherboard
AMD 5200+
4GBytes of OCZ RAM
Windos Vista Ultimate x64
Acer P223W LCD
Using on board video at the moment.
