Driver for Inspiron 4000Windows 2000 87 Key Keyboard
I just bought Windows 2000 for a laptop that could have come with either Windows 2000 or ME. How do I get the Dell driver for the keyboard, which is listed as: 3C048 KEYBOARD, 87, US-ENG, C600-I4K, R2
Under downloads, input devices, the only keyboard driver Dell lists is for an external USB keyboard.
The owners manual says nothing about the keyboard during the Windows 2000 install, and Windows 2000 wants to install the 102 key keyboard for my 87 key keyboard.
With the default 102 key keyboard driver, the numlock does nothing useful. There is also a battery icon on F3, and much more that does nothing.
first, try dell spare parts division technical support can give you their number and you really have to speak...
The XP upgrade instruction say to go to your drivers disk. My Windows 2000 directory on the drivers disk has 3COMLAN, ACESSSD (the sleeping E key), AUDIO, CMDIDE (IDE driver), MINIPCI, SPEEDSTP (Intel SpeedStep power management), Synaptics TOUCHPAD, and VIDEO (ATI graphics). The keyboard is conspicuously absent.
