SYMPTOMS

The Power properties for the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro may report four Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports available instead of two.

MORE INFORMATION

The Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro USB only has two USB ports. No functionality is lost on the two integrated USB ports and the keyboard works correctly.

If the operating system detects a device that requires more power than the current USB hub can provide, the operating system may prompt you to switch the USB device to a different hub. If the additional hub does not actually have an available port as reported, the message may be confusing.
APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
  • Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro
