I have a blueberry apple keyboard that I want to use with my pc laptop. Unfortunately when I put the computer on sleep or when I unplug then replug the keyboard it won't work until I have restarted. I actually have to boot up windows with the keyboard plugged in in order for it to work. So every time I open up the laptop to play FretsOnFire, I have to reboot and for some reason my pc laptop takes like 5 min to boot. Is this a driver problem? Can it be fixed?
Thanks.

Re:Mac keyboard on PC - 2007/01/18 22:02It's most likely a Windoze driver problem, or lack of a driver problem. But it could be a problem with the way the laptop handles external keyboards.
It's doubtful you can fix it or find a driver for it.
I would check the local thrift stores or eBay for a cheapo USB keyboard. Maybe borrow a PC USB keyboard to test it first though.
The best and easiest solution is to throw out the PC laptop and get a Mac laptop ;-)
had to say it......
