Using XP Media Center Edition 2005 on Compaq Presario & having

new keyboard. With pc off do I just unplug PS2 keyboard and PS2
mouse, setup Wireless keyboard and mouse and turn pc on and "voila"
I'm up and running? Excuse the stupid question but I'm a novice at
this. Don

Mike Hall's advice was excellent but I'd just like to add that there is probably a bunch of optional software bundled with the mouse. I'm thinking not only of apps but of soft to add "special functions" to keys...press a key, open OE...press a different key, open IE. Like that. You may or may not want to do that but you don't need that soft for normal use of the KB and mouse.

The driver bundled with Microsoft desktop sets will install extra stuff into the mouse Control Panel applet by default
