Okay, so you'll recall that I asked about video cards earlier today. As it turns out, I chose to upgrade the motherboard to a PCI Express model and get a 6800 GT. I looked at the 7x00 series, but really didn't see the need for the higher power (or SLI) for what I do and want. So I'm happy.

So I took out the old motherboard, put in the new one, moved my RAM and CPU over, put in the new video card, plugged everything back in, and wonder of all wonders, it booted up just fine! Checking my drivers in the hardware manager showed lots of unknown devices, as expected. I installed system drivers and video drivers, and again, everything went perfectly.

Except the keyboard.

I have a Microsoft wireless desktop elite (Model 1011). The OS insists that it's a standard 101/102 keyboard and says it can't start it. I uninstall that driver, install the appropriate one (Intellitype Pro 4), and it works fine, though the device manager tells me it's an "unknown device" in the keyboards area.

Reboot, however, and we're back to the OS thinking that it's a 101/102 standard keyboard with no startup (error code 10).

I'm baffled.

Anyone?
