Keyboard Problem

Okay, so recently my razer blackwidow keyboard decided to stop working. It basically says it's an "Unknown Device" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." I haven't done anything with it different except for bring it from my friends house back to my house.

Anyways, it stopped working so I've been using a basic dell keyboard now (Model SK-8115 - http://www.amazon.com/DELL-L-100-SK-8115-RT7D50-KEYBOARD/dp/B0037H8AB4) and now I'm having a problem with this keyboard. Basically when I'm in TF2 and playing it will just randomly alt tab me and say "Cannot Print. "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable"" ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windows/en-US/b25b6a4f-abef-47c5-bca6-09166ee449a5/cannot-print-the-active-directory-domain-services-is-currently-unavailable ) which makes 0 sense because I don't have a printer. I've been looking around and can't seem to figure it out.

I would definitely appreciate someone helping me out with hopefully both problems. I'll give whoever helps me fix this $5. Thanks! :D

Are you using the same USB port? Maybe the port is faulty.

Try plugging it into a other usb port.
Preferably in the back of PC,than see if that works.

I tried that already and it didn't fix anything.

Check device management, try checking HID or keyboards, disable stuff to see if it makes a difference. Also try updating/uninstalling keyboard drivers if you installed any, razer drivers can be shitty sometimes.

I tried all of this and still no luck.

Go into your BIOS, try changing your selected operating system to "Windows X" if it is currently on something else.

Ok, so I fixed my keyboard for about 30 secs. I uninstalled all firmware and then installed the firmware update version 1.05 and then updated to firmware 2.05.03 and the lights and stuff worked and then went off 30 secs later...

Check if the keyboard actually works, plug it into a different pc.

Okay, so I literally just redid all of this again and then restarted my PC and everything is working now. Thanks everyone for help! :D Add me and I'll give a hat to you guys since you did help but it didn't really solve the problem.
