I have 2 questions. First can this system be used to program keys? Second has anyone been able to install the software on anything besides Windows XP? I don't understand why you need a computer with software that is 3 generations old.

I successfully installed mine running on Win8 Pro with ease. No issues encountered. I just got mine today, installed and good to go. I used it to program key fob.

hey boss hows it goin? I have only used it on android but im pretty sure it will work on those os. when u try to use it u need a software called serial magic that doesnt come included with the purchase. The version you need is serial magic professional. Get that and u'll be good to go. I know android is 50 but unsure of the windows version. Cheers

We have had it over a year now and pretty happy with it. It came with Basic Roxio and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is now saying it can't be updated due to the XP operating system. My husband uses that computer to access the web and email mostly. We also had a old printer that we could hook up to it, not sure if any printers now would work with it. Not sure what to tell you since they aren't updating XP any more. I also wanted it to put some of my old software on that I couldn't load on my new computer. Tough decision!

I only used it for windows 7. Although from experience with the windows 8 platform you want the windows key to be nice one and this one does have a dent in it so it would also depend on how you feel about having a not flat fairly heavily used key.

I have windows 7 and this product doesn't even work on my computer. I don't know if it is my computer or the product. As for your system, some of the newer systems have a program that you can open it in the win 7. If you right click on the icon, there is a trouble shoot compatibility if you bought it already, otherwise I wouldn't get it and look for a different system.

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.

Try it without the software at the present time I am using it on a Windows 7 64 bit. But I did have it on a Windows 8.1 64 bit OS and it worked fine!

The only program it had loaded was the Windows XP Professional. I bought it for my husband when his computer bit the dust. He just couldn't get the hang of Windows 8 and quite frankly neither could I. We really like Windows XP and the price was certainly good. I had a computer savvy friend come to the house and help us load programs. Thank you for your service, Norm. My husband retired from the Navy after 32 years service. He was a hospital corpsman.

It worked great with 7. I recently got a Windows 8 laptop, and I just installed KK3. It seems to be working fine. When I registered it, it even gave me a link to an update with Windows 8 as a choice, so I think you'll be good to go with either 7 or 8.

Hi, We are using POS from company Epicor and they have software piece embedded into it, so I'm not sure what software are you going to use.It should work directly from Windows 7.If you have more questions, please let me know.Thanks!

There is good news and bad news. The bad news is I looked it up and what I found was don't insert the Mini CD into the slot. The good news is you don't need to instal the CD to use the keyboard. You only install I if you want to program the keys.

It works just fine with XP. The hardware is well-supported. It is the software you want to be concerned about.

Only works with older programs like XP. If you have something newer, out of luck.

So far I have just used it for the cool factor. You can write a program in Scratch or other application that uses the keyboard, and then, instead, use the Makey Makey interface as the keyboard (e.g., the banana can make the guy move left in your game). I haven't done, it but it looks like you can use tinfoil as an interface...so you could set up a rudimentary alarm system on your steps, for example. See this site for lots of examples http://makeymakey.com/gallery/

I bought my PK from a catalog and not the directly from the company. Mine also did not work properly when I tried to use it. I called the company and they suggested that it was possibly because it had been on a shelf somewhere for awhile and the software was out of date. The company emailed me updated software and it worked perfectly. It was very simple to use and I had no further problems with it. I hope you get it working.

Yes, Carlos they were right this computer is very ancient,obsolete and the XP operating system is outdated too and will no longer receive Microsoft Security security support or updates starting April-8,2014. Even though mines works fairly well and i gave a good review about this computer some time ago i will be updating to the windows 7 so out goes this computer.

I don't believe so. if you purchase any software from anyone it will be the same. Keep all of your paperwork, activation codes etc and usually any company will allow you to use it on at least 2 computers. I think I have it on 3 at present. This one is pretty tough to learn. I haven't had time or the inclination to invest in learning it.
