    Hi itsjeff,

    Did you put in the disk that came with the keyboard and installed everything? or did you just download the command center from our support site?

    Yeah I downloaded the command center from the site! I don't have the disk that came with the keyboard...I thought downloading it from the site would suffice! Would it make a difference if I did use the disk that came with the keyboard, And is there a way to get a new disk somehow?

    While you likely need Command Center to control the lights and features... what you need installed first is the special drivers for the keyboard and mouse:

    Have you tried the keyboard on another computer?
