AEKII + iMate on Win7
« on: Mon, 02 February 2015, 19:23:28 »
A friend is having an issue with his AEKII I am trying to solve. He is trying to use the AEK on  a Windows 7 PC, and he bought the Griffin iMate converter so he could connect to USB.

Now, the board won't work at all in Windows. It won't even turn the Lock lights on. However, I did discover that the keyboard did actually work in BIOS. Lights, modifiers, the works. As soon as Windows begins to boot though, functionality ends. You can't even turn on/off the lights you were just modifying.

Is this typical? Does the AEKII + iMate not work with Windows 7? From what I have found so far, it really sounds like a driver issue, although the adapter registers just fine in Device Manager, the keyboard won't register at all.

Works for me.

Boot up the computer with a PS/2 keyboard and plug in the iMate "hot" the first time.

After the OS recognizes it the first time, it should remember.
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

Thanks, I had only tried it from a cold boot. It seems to be working now.
