I have a HP 0228 keyboard that I am attempting to use on a Dell 745 Win 7 Pro unit. I have a PS2 to USB adapter and can't get the two talking. Any ideas?

Yes, it's the adapter. They generally don't work on some keyboards unless the keyboard supports that type of conversion, and many don't. I suspect the adapter may work when attached to an old PS/2 mouse, but not a keyboard.

Buy a USB keyboard so you don't have to use an adapter. Doesn't cost much at all unless you want one with all the bells & whistles.
