    Hello Don,

    Let's find out some more info, does the new hardware is different then
    the old HW you used in the past, make/model, Is the video card is
    different or may be using a different chip set, how about the keyboard
    Is it different then the old ones, may be smaller in size if so can
    you try a older keyboard just for testing purposes.
