Everything installed perfectly. Even the Linksys wireless card that I stuck in!

I only have trouble with the keys "8", "i", "k", and ",". But if you look at your own keyboard, you'll realize why I think it's a hardware issue.

Also, there is only one usb port, and it's in a bad spot, so only usb "cables" will be able to plug into it, or anything of that same size. I had to buy a usb hub to be able to charge my iPod shuffle.
