Driver problems!

I need some help here, its driving me crazy.

My computer asks me to install a driver for every new hardware i plug in. I brought a new LAcie plug and play 500GB hardrive that doesnt come with a driver, and of course it doesnt work.

My new apple keyboard asks for a driver too, and it doesnt work once again.

I tried to use it on my brother's computer and it works without installing no drivers, is there a way to turn off that wizard on my vaio laptop? help me please

[[Edit]]

ANY one help me?

i have a 500GB and a brand new apple keyboard here waiting to be used

The driver should be in the drive included with other softwares i think, but External HD u don't have to have driver to run, just plug & play

when hard drive pluged- in windows should regconize & windows wizard will appear ask u to install ur new hardware/ run the wizard u should be all set. The same as the Apple key board.

And if nothing happen:

1- Try plug in a different port

2- Go to Control Panel : Add hardware [ second one on ur top left]

Thats where im stuck at.

I try to install using the wizard and then this pops up:

"The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software"

Click back if you have installation media such as a CD - ROM, or if you know the location of the software.

Um, its a plug and play harddrive....same goes for the keyboard.

thanks for your reply

You must've interrupted somehow the first time while windows was trying to install ur hardware, complete shutdown then try plug into a different port before turn the power back on, if the windows doesn't see it you have to use add Add Hardware from the Control Panel.

It's a basic principle, no CD installation needed & ur apple keyboard definitely not, it's not gonna work even if there's a CD for u to install. [Don't forget: u won't receive the same performance as a regular microsoft keyboard, losing some shortcut]

Search for the drivers online as well; I don't know what you'll find for the Apple keyboard, but you should definitely be able to find something for the hard drive.
