No, the driver won't work and Compaq isn't offering XP drivers for keyboards (
own a 7ap195). If you love your mom then buy her a new keyboard. New keyboards
are cheap and much nicer than that old Compaq.

Mom will be so happy.

Yeah, that's what I thought. The new keyboard is an idea I hadn't actually
thought of, though! Duuuh!?

Thanks for the info and suggestion!
Sincerely,
JCDeen
