How to install a keyboard external usb of my laptop Gateway?

Can't get my pad digital external usb to work on my Gateway laptop.

It came with no software to install or instructions?  Normally, it's just a matter of connecting.  Have you tried another USB port (to make sure this isn't a problem with port)?  Try pushing the NumLock on your keyboard key and see if that will activate the numeric keypad.  You have another computer, you can try it to see if it has the same problem?  What is the manufacturer, the brand and model of USB keyboard?  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips. Check list for a USB keyboard and click on it for more information (such as the notification that it works correctly or some other message and information on the drivers.  If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

If the above does not work, I suggest that contact your keypay USB manufacturer to see if they have device drivers for installation assistance and her.  Are you sure that this USB keyboard is compatible with your version of Vista.  See Center Compativility of Vista to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx and ask the manufacturer to point blank if it is compatible.

If the people of USB keyboard do not help, then I suggest you try to contact Gateway Technical Support and see if they can help you with installation - there may be some configurations in their software (not Vista) which must be set to operate-, or they may be able to help even if it is not the case.  It's worth a try.

What does not work, go back and see if we can come up with a few other options to try.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
