Dell or defect - Podiatry term?

Posted: Aug 13, 2012

Has anyone been successful in using an adapter to hook up their old keyboard to their new MQ Dell computer? I hate the low-profile Dell USB keyboard they sent me and all of my other keyboards have PS2 connectors. After being unsuccessful at going out shopping to try to buy a new USB keyboard with a higher profile, I purchased an adapter to convert a PS2 keyboard to a USB port hook-up but it does not recognize the keyboard. Just wondering if anyone else ...

I just bought a new Dell laptop. I had to do a few upgrades to make my transcription program operable. Now that is out of the way and I have run into a problem with my footpedal. It fits, but does not operate, even when I switch the foot pedal settings to USB, COM 1 or COM 2. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is the foot pedal I had been using for my desk top. I am assuming another foot pedal works for the Dell laptop. ...

I have jobs in my work queu that I can't get to because the pedal won't play them. The computer seemes to recognize the pedal and said it installed drivers but it just doesn't operate even after three reboots. I have Windows 7. Is this pro ...
