Hey,

Quick question, I can't get my Apple wireless keyboard to be recoginzed as an apple keyboard.

Because of the the apple keyboard isn't installed when i install the drivers, meaning someof the keyboards functionaility isn't present.

Does anyone hve any ideas why this could be?

Has anyone else had any problems and managed to fix them?

Thanks


Adam

I had a little problem, but I switched the KB off by the switch on the bottom, then back on and started typing and it worked.

Worth a go if you haven't already done this.

Yes,

The actual keyboard works, but none of the volume adjuster, brightness adjuster works, additionally the # can't be typed, as well as other characters...

The volume and brightness wouldn't work, as XP requires drivers for any type of 'extra' stuff on a keyboard. One thing to try to get the number pad working is to hit the 'clear' button on the top left of the number pad, since it acts as a number lock key on most keyboards.
Apple does have XP drivers for its devices in Boot Camp, so you might want to burn a boot camp CD and see if you can install the drivers for the keyboard from that.
