SYMPTOMS
When you use a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite connected to the PS/2 port on one of the following Toshiba laptop computers, the keyboard may not function properly:
 * Satellite 110C


 * Satellite Pro 400C


 * Tecra 720CDT


 * Tecra 500CDT



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Plug and Play hardware detection on the PS/2 port times out before the computer enumerates the keyboard.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the Universal Serial Bus (USB) adapter included with the keyboard to connect the Natural Keyboard Elite to the USB port on the laptop computer, if one is available.

If a USB port is not available on the computer, contact the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 to obtain a replacement keyboard. Be sure to have your product identification (PID) number ready when you call.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite,version 1.0.
