They are sending me another keyboard and dongle. They are hoping that will fix it. I went surfing and have found some other people fixing the problem by using a USB extension cord. To get the dongle away from the PC cabinet. I'm still working on it .

If you don't have an answer just keep your fingers off of the keyboard!

Your question has absolutely nothing to do with the XP operating system, and you should not have even posted it. If it wants drivers as you indicated, then the manufacturer's web page is the place to get them, not here.
