    So I bought a new keyboard today and came home to play with it. I downloaded the driver and it wouldnt install. I got amessage saying that I was missing .Net framework 4.0.30319

    Downloaded that and it wouldnt work. I dont remember what the error message was.

    I thought maybe it had to do with windows updates so I went to check if i had any updates to install and it wasnt even runnning. I get the following message:
    "windows updates can not currently check for updates becuase the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."

    Well I restarted it and its still the same message. I looked around online and found other ppl with the same problem but their fixes didnt work for me.

    I ran the services.msc and found that the background intelligence and the windows update are not even on that list.

    Any help??

    You failed to mention what version of windows you are running. Also include 32 bit or 64 bit as well as Service packs installed.
