Right then, I had a look on the net last night for some new drivers for the keyboard, but there haven't been any new ones since I bought the keyboard.

The only thing I was a bit worried about when I installed the keyboard initially is compatibility with Windows XP. Apparently some products have a special certificate or logo or something to say they have been tested for use with Windows XP. This particular keyboard hasn't got this certification, but the manual said it was ok to install anyway. When I was looking on the net I found a troubleshooting page which said that this may have something to do with it, although if the manufacturers have specifically said it's ok to use with XP I guess it's ok?

The other thing I saw on the troubleshooting page was to do with noise interference in audio programs, which was that static noise I mentioned in the last post. They reckon its something to do with "CPU throttle" - something to do with the PC trying to save power which can mess up sound. Do you know which is the best Power Options setting in XP to stop this? I changed it to "Always On" but not sure of that's right. I also forgot to mention that it always seems to crash when the cooling fan comes on, or maybe that's just a coincidence?

I hate computers.
