This sounds a lot like the problem I had with a Pentium motherboard I tried to use recently. The problem turned out to be an old BIOS that (as I recall) wasn't properly initializing the keyboard controller or some such. I upgraded the BIOS and it started working. This was a desktop computer, but that sort of thing might be something to look at, anyway. -- Jonathan Guthrie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Brokersys +281-895-8101 http://www.brokersys.com/ 12703 Veterans Memorial #106, Houston, TX 77014, USA
