so i was rummaging around our garage then i saw an old system unit. it was a Dell with Intel Pentium 2 and Windows 95 (based on the stickers on the panel). I opened the casing and i saw that the whole system was still intact and just a little dusty. i tried to plug it in my LG Flatron Monitor that i currently use with my current windows xp system (also a Dell), so when i booted in, it said Keyboard failure (after plugging in my usb keyboard). and after i wait it just stays like that. any idea what to do with it or how to make it work? thanks in advance!:ange:

Hello,

Given the system is that old, it is very possible that the system does NOT support USB keyboard's outside of operating system. You will likely need to connect a PS/2 keyboard to system to proceed past that error (guessing its saying "Press F1 to continue")

Hope this helps
