i'm staying in the us for the month between blizzcon and wcg usa and im going to be practicing on a laptop, and i have my samsung sem-dt35 keyboard with me and i'm trying to install it, but the laptop refuses to recognize it as i dont have any drivers. i got the keyboard from my team without any software and i've never had a problem with it before, ive tried searching for the drivers but as far as i can tell the product isnt even on the samsung website anymore, and i cant seem to find them anywhere else.

anyone have the drivers or know how to fix this?

The keyboard is really old. Are you sure there was ever a driver designed for it?

Maybe a Samsung driver for a different model would work? If not I can't help you, sorry.

Install the windows keyboard driver that came with service pack 3 (im assuming XP). Also, send an email to CJ about it.

Yeah that is kind of weird. I googled around and didn't find any links or nothing for drivers for this particular keyboard.

Maybe it's too old or something for the laptop to recognize?

Also, try booting and the obvious stuff if you haven't. Also try running System mechanic and see if there are problems with registry keys or what not.

As manny mentioned try going to SP 3 if you are not there already, then as a longshot try installing the far eastern language pack? (really just guessing at that)

This is probably not it but

is the dt-35 usb like the dell?

have you tried restarting comp after you connected the laptop?

try a diff laptop?

automatic updates for xp?

do the numlock/caps lock lights work when connected? (turn on/off as you hit the respective keys)

you probably tried all of these, but im getting pretty desperate.

Have you tried the keyboard on another computer to rule out the possibility that the keyboard is faulty? I have a dt-35 too and as i recall Win XP sp3 recognized it immediately. When it is plugged in and not working do you see the "New Hardware Found" icon in the icon tray or do you get a New Hardware dialog?

Well if you have it from CJ then iam assuming that its Qsenn DT-35 cos samsung is not doing this model anymore so try to find drivers for that name.
But i guess it doesnt have any since its just a regular keyboard they for sure dont give any to it i have it like it came with box and there was nothing. Try to reinstall all drivers for keyboard and then install them again all via Windows it should work...
