Ooooh this is annoying. - Eppy - 12-26-2008
Right, my old laptop is being insufferable. It had a little accident involving some diet coke, so the keyboard is no longer functional. I just purchased a semi-decent Dynex keyboard at Best Buy, but there's an issue: it has to install drivers before it will work. This presents a problem, because it involves me logging on to Sheet Cheepio over here before the drivers will install. How do I go about this?

I have absolutely no idea what that means.
EDIT: Now I do, and again: That would involve me logging on.

Do you have Windows XP?

Yes.
And O.O
It just started working. Completely randomly. It sat there for five minutes, and randomly started working. It's not even connected to the network, either, the network's been shot. Spooky. I hope my luck keeps up, I have to export a LOT of crap...

Okay, well if it craps out again, open Start --> Search and search "keyboard". You should get "Visual Keyboard" or "On-screen Keyboard" or something similar, depending on your computer. How'd you write this post if you were having trouble with your keyboard though?

I have two computers,:laugh:One's a crappy old Toshiba workhorse (the one I'm having the issues with) that was cheap when I bought it (only a grand). This one is an Alienware M15X, so considerably nicer:)

Ah, cool. All my computers are bought for a grand, I'm too poor to afford anything higher:laugh:.

Hey, man, you work with what you got. *shrug* As long as it keeps you playing. Not to mention you can put them together aftermarket a lot cheaper these days.

It serves its purpose, which is now more haunting the forums than anything else:P.
