Right in that case this one won't do, it's the opposite way round to what you describe.

Re: Computer Boot up
 

When you say 5 pin din are the pins in a semicircle - if so thats an old AT keyboard. I can probably find you a 5 pin Din to mini ATX type keyboard. Or just buy a keyboard in Asda for about £5

Thanks Neil, but I'm using one of the dammed keyboards.

They are a pain in the u know what, their too small for my fingers, type several letters to get the right one.

The adaptor I need is 5 din mini to female 5 pin then to usb.
I have one of the others, I know such things exist, they make them for laptops, so you can plug mouse & keyboard into two fly leads and the the usb into the computer.

It will be easier to buy a new keyboard. Does the new PC only have USB ports?

Open Windows Mail, click Tools (at the top) then accounts, then highlight your email account and select Properties (on the right). Make your changes there.

Perhaps if you struggle with standard keyboards one of these might interest you? A bit expensive but if they help??

Re: Computer Boot up
 

Sorry Neil, thats not it either, I was trying to explain to my daughter, and she could'nt get her head round what I meant,
this is how I made her understand, if I stick the ps2 5din connector up the dogs backside and stick her tounge in the usb port, thats what I need, so the penny dropped and she said come here Eedie, we have a surprise for you.

There's a picture of the one I mean at www.cablesandmore.co.uk two flying leads with female ps2 connectors. and a usb at the other end.
