Keyboard Anomaly

The keyboard has no clue about where the cursor on the screen is at any time and doesn't make decisions about what the computer is going to do with the key code it sends out. It is a combination of the operating system and the program that determines what a particular key...

OK, this is a strange one... Shuttle SK41 motherboard with on-board graphics, plus an old Radeon 8500 AGP card (64mb I think). The PC is used for basic kids internet, hotmail and watching DVDs. Has been working just fine for ages. I recently swapped out the desktop athlon 2400 for a mobile 2500. Cooler, quieter etc. Just got a new HD1080 TV in the living room and it is connected to that, but had a post last week about it not managing 1080...

The Lightscribe discs cost more (not a lot but some). However, a buddy...
