my understanding is that I don't need to have a machine that is blur tooth ready because  the dongle that came with the keyboard is
what is needed. it is some kind of blue tooth emulator my desk top has
a new and mother board on it this is form the keyboard review

"Adding Bluetooth to your PC is as simple as inserting the bundled USB
transceiver dongle into a vacant port, but unlike with RF wireless
devices, pairing the keyboard and mouse with your system calls for a
little more effort. You'll need to navigate the multistep setup
software and maintain your calm if it takes a couple of tries to
recognize all of the devices. And before you get started, you'll need
to download Windows XP with Service Pack 2 if you haven't already; SP2
is required for this keyboard and mouse set."

i have the service pac three on my computer i am wondering if i should
go back to two but when tying to install it said i had a new version and it wouldn't let me

yes i do  have the software for the keybord and have installed it  my problem is with windows i believe not with
the keyboard or its software i tried it on another computer no problem
in fact just tried it on three computers thanks for your help
