Latest Apple Keyboard to work FULLY in windows xp

I have this apple keyboard which i would like to work with windows.
When I first iserted the USB cable into my Windows XP pc, it registered it all and even noticed that it was an apple.
I was pretty suprised windows didnt say its Mircosoft :S

It works ok but still a number of keys dont work. F13 - 16, ALL 4 Function keys (Vol UP, Vol DOWN, MUTE, EJECT)

Now i have been using a trial version off AppleK Pro, which is a Apple kernal driver tool for windows so your keyboard from macintosh works allright.
Though i would like a FREE program or EXPERT advice on how to Map the keys right. Every remapper was limited to standard 101 keyboards

Also helpfull would be that if you have the same problem leave some lines

Thanks All

F13-F16 probably don't work because "typical" Windows compatible keyboards don't even have these keys.

same goes for all other keys i have listed...
Please only reply if you have an asnwer or suggestion

WTF?

what is your point ? dont you think i know that those keys dont work because they arent normal !!!
Go to some other thread to mess about

You've sure shown how immature you can be since you joined: Being incredibly rude to me for making a suggestion and spam threads such as your "Folding on the Moon"... how 'bout you show some respect for those who are just trying to help. And you DO NOT own this thread, you've just started it.

lol, why you even bother writing all this nonesense haha, how about you post on threads you know anwers for and not bother me and my posts!

PS, i think you are the immature person, and you will probably uhh report me to the admin or reply to this thread.

hiiii
im new to this forum so want to know that iam willing to purchase a wireless keyboard and mouse of apple for windows pc so would it work with it reply me back soon

Yes, but first you have to boot from you xp disc and press 'R' at the first screen, then when you are at a prompt you must type 'format c:'

You bloody necromancer!! j/k...
Pratik...you need to start a new thread...people hardly pay attention at old threads!!!

And, don't read what Kal-El posted. He is lying!!! This will kill your system.....LITERALLY!!

Yeah, it was a joke. But it was still funny.

Well...when there are emoticons missing in your post, computer illiterate just might take something seriously. And I got evidence.

I'm not complety sure if it will work since i dont own 1, but if your planning on gaming just wanted to let you no, wireless mouses are terrible because usually there seems to be a slight delay compared to wired mouses.

Can you see the scan codes for F13-16 in windows XP?

Using the scan codes visible in windows (e.g. PassMark Keyboard Test from download.com) and mapping the scan codes in the registry (see Scan Code Mapper For Windows at microsoft.com ), I've been able to map the power button to mute and rearrange the windows and alt keys on a Sun Type 6 USB Keyboard. I haven't been able to get the volume/contrast buttons and the left set of buttons to work b/c I can't see the scan codes in windows.

If you can see the scan codes, it should be easy to map the scan codes. (You might use Keymapper.exe to map the keys more easily. Also, note that when you remap keys you may need to either log off or reboot your computer before the new mappings will work.)

Hello,
You can find some more info based on my own experience on my web site. but I cannot post the link here. Said simple, get Boot Camp and use Transmac to extract the Drivers Disk it contains. Use setup, you are done. To get the whole story see my blog on happytocode dot com.
As the post is very long and the solution is described here I won't get banned from here
Hopefully it'll help
John.

update: note that using the apple drivers and keyboard manager let's you use ALL the keys on the keyboard. F13 to F19 are easy to get. Some PC keyboard have even more keys then that. The tougthest problem was with the eject CD key. It's working. At least with BC1.4
