PS2 ports

I just bought a new compaq CQ5115uk desktop computer. Did everything well and everything seems to work great so far. Just one thing...

I can't get my keyboard working using the PS/2 keyboard port. When I connect it to the usb port it works fine, but when I connect it into the keyboard PS2 port using the purple small adapter, it doesn't. I'm doing something wrong? Do I need to configure? Or would it just the little purple adapter is defective? I really prefer to connect my keyboard using the PS/2 port to free up my regular use usb ports. Either way, my mouse is connected to the PS/2 mouse port and works perfectly.

I can't wait to hear from someone...

MIMO, it may be that your USB keyboard is not wired for use with the PS/2 port.  Here is a link to an adapter USB of Manhattan that explains what I mean:

http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?ProductID=4202

Here's what he says: "connect a USB keyboard or mouse to the PS/2 ports on your computer with this simple and compact adapter. Color-coded for easy installation.

* Please note that this adapter only works with USB keyboards that are wired for use in a PS/2 keyboard port. If your USB keyboard did not include a digital decoder, this adapter will not work with it. »

  • Laptop Toshiba computers have serial port (COMM.)?

    Hello

    Hello Ivan,.

    one of my friends had the same problem. Here is some info for you that makes you happy! :-)

    Toshiba offers only professional with the COM port laptop computers as 'old' COM, printer, PS2 ports are inherited. All the computer laptop manufacturer went this way in the past because the market doesn't have a demand for it! So only USB 2.0 is built in the terms of the end user.

    Here's the new laptops from toshiba available with Port com Tecra M1, M2 Tecra, Tecra S1, Tecra 9100 and Tecra 9000. The 6100 Pro Satellite and 6000 was also one.

  • Tecra M10 - 17 H no support DVI via docking station not

    There is already a message asking this, but I wanted to point out that it is a problem affecting more than one user.

    Too, I bought a Toshiba laptop for my business as it was supposed to be a laptop a serious matter. However, I must say that I am losing confidence that Toshiba understands what needs a company.

    The docking station is frankly a joke. USB KVM will not work with it, probably, there is no PS2 port you can not use a KVM PS2 instead. Even if you could, the VGA dock does not detect the external VGA is present when there is a KVM. Of course, the answer is "simply" open up the laptop and set it up on the Panel, then switch to external whenever you turn it on. How can anyone think that is a response in a business, or any other environment is beyond me.

    Now, I find that my laptop has an Intel graphics card I can't use the DVI port on the dock either. Which is really annoying, is that I could buy a laptop at half price, but wouldn't because I wanted a laptop class business that disintegrates not in respect of the use. I didn't pursue a fantastic graphic option because I did not doing anything fancy either, but graphics without the supported DVI via the dock is just simply ridiculous.

    Now, I regret bitterly, to get rid of the old Dell D/Dock that although several years worked without fault and with DVI, with any old KVM and without any problems at all.

    Sorry for the mug shot, but I am bitterly disappointed that I bought a cheap puppy that I can't afford to write off for a good while yet. Meanwhile despite works well when it works, the laptop is a right royal pain to use when the dock is therefore unnecessary.

    What to tell boyfriend
    Is a really nice laptop Tecra M10 and Portégé series and series Tecra laptop computers Bussines there.

    But it seems that the DVI port on the Port Replicator Port Express is supported only on computers with ATI graphics card or nVidia.

    I found this Toshiba document:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm

    It s on Tecra A9 but maybe that it s a Tecra M10-related too

  • Question about the settings of the mouse on my Satellite A105

    By changing the current definition of the parameter 'magnetize' to my checked unchecked to i.e mouse pointer active (and then selecting 'Apply' and 'OK') the function "align on" works OK initially

    .. However, after restarting my laptop 'magnetize' is disabled and the box (in the settings) returns to be deselected.

    I tried to fix the problem at the level of the registry by changing the SnapToDefaultButton value to '1', but the problem comes back even. I also installed Microsoft driver for the external mouse I use.

    I also disabled the touchpad, which none have solved the problem. I think it could be a setting on the laptop that is causing the recommended turn off whenever I restart.

    Could you please advice?

    My machine features:

    Toshiba Satellite A105 (I bought it new)
    Windows XP Edition family ed 2002
    Synaptic touchpad V6.2 (PS2 port)
    Mouse Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse

    Hello

    As far as I know, this option is part of the Microsoft mouse settings and it is really strange that something like that happen. If you use additional software for external mouse there is possibility of a kind of negative influence on the standard preinstalled stuff. Perhaps the same option persists in software pre-installed and both come across each other somehow. Sorry, but on this path it is not easy to say what can be the solution.

    Have you had this problem before using the external mouse?

  • cancel installation repair xp

    Hi all, hope you can help.

    I have a Dell Dimension 3100 PC had corrupted files and so I decided to make a media center XP repair installation.

    In the middle of the repair, the keyboard and mouse are not recognized (usb because there are no ps2 ports) and so I had to give up.

    Now whenever the pc reboots it says "Setup reboots" and just gets to the same place where I have to use the keyboard and mouse.

    I would prefer just to cancel, but I tried bootcfg /rebuild and fixboot, but they make no difference.

    Y at - it a registry key that starts the repair that can be removed?

    Thank you

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not to the login screen

    Hi, I was recently infected with Antispyware Soft virus. In my attempt to remove it, my screen went black, so I had to restart my computer. Entering my login screen, I was unable to connect because my keyboard and mouse no longer works. I tried to start the safe mode too and they still do not work on the login screen. However, they work at the start of the BIOS. I looked around, but I couldn't find any option for Legacy USB drivers. I went to a few USB option and select [Enabled] and it still doesn't work to the login screen. I have no PS2 port, so I can't try it. I was also able to use my mouse and keyboard when you attempt a repair of the system to do a system restore, but that solves nothing. I am at a loss what to do. I hope someone is late, as I'll be gone tomorrow/more day late today. I am writing a computer laptop and unable to remember any care my office except the fact, it's Windows Vista.

    Hi HellMuT1,

     
    We recommend to use a different mouse and keyboard, then check the result. If the problem persists, try the following steps.
    1. Insert Windows Vista DVD.
    2. restart your computer.
    3. let the computer restart (boot) from the DVD.
    4. If you are prompted, press a key to continue.
    5. When you reach the screen install Windows, select your preferences in the language to install, time and currency format and keyboard or input method boxes, and then click Next.
    6. do not click on install now. Instead, click on repair your computer. The System Recovery Options dialog box appears.
    7. make sure that the appropriate operating system is selected, and then click Next.
    8. After you click Next, the System Recovery Options menu appears.
    9. click on command prompt.
    10. type devmgmt.msc and press enter
    11. on the window Device Manager, in the object list, expand mice and other pointing devices.
    12. make a right click the sub element and click on uninstall.
    13 expand keyboards.
    14. make a right click the sub element and click on uninstall.
    15. Type exit and press ENTER to restart the computer.
    16. remove Vista DVD and restart the computer to see if the keyboard and mouse works fine.

  • Mouse Vista freeze for mobsync.exe (Microsoft Sync Center)

    Hello

    My Vista system had mouse freeze for 10 or 15 seconds every few minutes for some time now, too long for me to start simply undo the restore points. I read what is on the net about others who have had the same problem and tried many patches, but without success to get rid of or even change the problem.

    I have a MS optical blue USB mouse, running on an ultimate Vista update install on a Dell workstation. Gel mouse is often coincides with the hard disk activity, so I tried to decommissioning and anything that may run intermittently the hard disk in the background, but once again without any effect on the problem of indexing.

    Recently, I brought up the Task Manager and left open. A few minutes later when gel mouse happened again, I saw "mobsynce.exe" appears in the list of processes, and then disappear a few seconds after the mouse resurrected itself. That's what happens whenever the mouse crashes, at least on my system.

    I had never heard "Microsoft Sync Center", and read on this subject on MS gave me not a lot better understand why it's popping in and out, as if it were. I tried to turn off all the files and readers, without changing the frequency of freezing.

    MS wrote of Sync Center can not be disabled or uninstalled. I have not all attached to my machines, I know mobile devices. I am on an intranet home, and I have the HP MediaSmart Server on this network, as well as some other machines.

    In Sync Center, I have nothing that could be stopped to be synchronized, no evidence of errors, etc. Its only function on my system, seems to be to freeze my dozens of mouse of times every day.<|:-)>

    Anyone know about this feature from the center of synchronization and how to behave and leave my mouse only or even what the devil Sync Center is supposed to be for? Is there something to do with it being a USB mouse that makes the Center Synchronization think to check for "synchronization"?

    As part of the 'trying everying that everyone has suggested on the net regarding the mouse Vista freezing problem', I have installed/uninstalled drivers for this mouse mouse, but also using some generic driver for Vista is here. No change to anything. I have not tried switching to the a PS/2 port, but only because what I read just said he is indifferent to the problem.

    Thanks for your help with this.

    For all the world's information...

    I rebuilt the USB stack and introduced to the mouse backwards to a USB mouse. I experienced the same problem as before, gel apparently slightly worse, which makes the mouse unusable. The only solution that worked in my situation is plug the USB mouse with a PS2 port adapter and use it that way. There are still sometimes 'breaks' but not gel, and they may have other causes.

  • Strange sticky keys or CTRL plus key type of problem

    One of my PC running Windows Pro 7 all of a sudden started acting strangely.

    Basically when I press "r" key, the Run dialog box opens. The same problem occurs when I press other keys my keyboard -c' is as if I am pressing on the CTRL key and the key on the other. It happened all of a sudden without warning and I was unable to get rid of him.

    I tried the following (which none makes no difference):
    1. explicitly disabled in the options of the ease of use/acessability StickyKeys. [they were lit, but I have unchecked everything in all cases]

    2 tried another USB keyboard

    3. tried the on-screen keyboard

    4. I tried the boot safe mode and using 1-3 above.

    5. under the direction of the registry (which was fun when you can't get 'r' into the search box as run immediately opens) and change the following:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys - changed flag to 506 (also tried 26)
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard response - changed flag to 122
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys - changed flag to 58

    [I also changed the keys above in HKEY_USERS\Default\ControlPanel\Accessibility]

    6 returned to an image earlier from my drive C: this month and made the changes above to this restored image.

    7 run an anti-virus with Avast (which normally works in the background either way) - he came clean.

    None of this makes a difference - they keys always behave strangely.

    Anyone can suggest what's causing this problem and how can I solve it?
    Is it software or hardware (same BIOS) related?

    I tried everything I could think of, so any useful suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I managed to solve the problem - but to be honest I don't know how!

    In addition to the steps described in my initial post I tried the following:
    * Booted in safe mode - makes no difference
    * Restarted the BIOS out and then reinstalling the BIOS battery - not made no difference
    * Ran several scans of rootkit (Kapersky tdsskiller) and Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit beta - the two came clean. keyboards still do not work

    * Started from a distribution Ubuntu on a USB - all USB keyboards, I used worked fine! However, on restart in Windows, I was getting the same question. By pressing 'r' caused the Run dialog box to appear, 'e' caused explore open and so on - as if the CTRL key was pressed at the same time.
    * I tried the keyboard in USB ports - still does not properly.

    So I rebooted using a PS2 Keyboard (Fortunately my motherboard a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R - had PS2 ports)...
    and the keyboard worked!

    Then, I reinserted the original USB keyboard - and it worked as well! Like the other USB keyboard that I had tried.

    Now, I don't know what the problem was or why put in a keyboard on the PS2 port worked and it cleared it all; but he did. I reinstalled my most recent image of my C: drive (I had reverted to an older one where something had changed recently in my system) - and the keyboard works OK.

    So somehow the issue has been resolved!

    I'll post again if the problem recurs - but for now, keep your fingers crossed.

  • USB keyboard stops being Windows XP reinstall on Dimension 9100!

    I searched this forum for a solution and the best I found is similar, but not exact problems. To make it easier to understand, here is what I have and what I've done so far:

    The computer is a Dell Dimension 9100 w / Windows XP Home Edition. I have 'no' has a PS/2 port. The keyboard and mouse are USB. There 'no' to a floppy drive, only a 80 GB HD, CD ROM & CD Burner. I wanted to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows XP Home Edition. I did the natural thing and put on the Windows CD that gave a choice of reinstalling Windows, but when I clicked it, the message said that "there is a newer version of Windows XP on the computer". The continue button is grayed out. After much frustration, I decided to manully wipe the drive, so I used Active Boot erase disc. Now when I boot from the CD ROM with the CD of Windows XP in there, load files and it gets to the screen that says "press enter = continue R = repair, & F3 = exit". Straight? No, at this time there the keyboard commands do not work so you can't do anything. Remember, "no" PS2 port so I can not put a real keyboard inside. "" Thanks Dell! I tried this sequence with the keyboard plugged into every USB port on the PC. No luck with any of them. Does the Dell hell? Can someone help me get back Windows on the stupid computer?


  • Port PS2 wont work on windows 8

    Since the time that I have upgraded to windows 8 port PS/2 does not work, and for this I use a USB to PS2 converter, even if used to my mouse works

    every time when the machine is started, it forces to reconnect me the USB. So the mouse begins to operation...

    Help, please

    Hi, Mohammad Akrams,.

    Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. what happens when you connect a device without a converter?

    3 is this problem specific to PS/2 port?

    4. what previous operating system did you use?

    5. If you disconnect your keyboard, ps/2 mouse work?

    This problem normally occurs when you have not updated your chipset drivers. You can visit the computer manufacturer and try to download the latest chipset driver and check.

    You can disconnect all the external device and check the results.

    Hope this information helps. Respond with more information so that we could help you more.

  • Equium A80: PS2/USB adapter does not work correctly

    I have a satellite A80. I bought an adapter to allow me to use a graphics tablet on the usb ports. The adapter gives a ps2 keyboard and mouse ps2.

    The adptor is recognized by windows and displayed in the list of hardware. It also shows the mouse connected to it as a gift. But, the problem is there is no movement of the mouse either and the ps2 keyboard does not work either.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I have never used these adapters and I can t give you a solution, but I can only speculate on this issue.
    I think you should check the mouse options in Control Panel. Here, you can also configure the settings. It is possible with the USB mouse, but I don't know if this is possible with the USB - PS2 adaptor. However, you can check it out.

    I remember, a friend of mine tried to use the keyboard PS2 on the desktop PC.
    He bought a USB-> adapter PS2 but it didn t work.
    The technician had said that there could be an IRQ problem.

    Well, you can also try to go to Device Manager and select mice and other pointing devices area.
    If he has listed more than peripheral mouse so I recommend disable it and only turned on the PS/2 compatible mouse.
    Try to do the same thing with PS/2 keyboard.
