I was given an old Compac PC and when I plugged it in all I get is a black screen with the words ff 301 keyboard error. Do I have to be on line to fix this problem? I am using a Dell Windows XP PC to send this message. IF YOU answer please use simple language as I am NO expert, just an senior citizen who has more or less taught herself!! Thanks for any help.

Hi and welcome to D-A-L

This can happen if you have the mouse and keyboard plugged in the wrong ports
