Two Keyboards Listed Under Keyboard Branch in Device Manager (183318)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q183318 SYMPTOMS
When you restart your computer after installing a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) keyboard, both the USB keyboard device and the "Standard 101/102-Key
or Microsoft Natural Keyboard" device are listed in the Keyboard branch in
Device Manager.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because USB keyboards require the standard 101/102-
key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard driver to work properly.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
If you disable the "Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard"
device in Device Manager and then restart your computer, the USB keyboard
does not work. If you remove the "Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft
Natural Keyboard" device from Device Manager and then restart your
computer, Windows 98 automatically installs the device again.
