    I found a nice corded Logitech keyboard for an outstanding price in a thrift store.
    Taped to the back was a quick start guide and a driver CD, iTouch 2.0(year 2002).
    I went online and see that the latest is version 2.221(or similar) from 2004.
    The problem is, Logitech won't let you just update the driver for just the keyboard. At least, I couldn't find a way.
    No matter what route/option I chose, they insist on installing the Driver Robot.
    I finally gave up and installed it.
    The driver robot ran a scan of my computer and tells me I have 41 critical drivers that need updating-including video adapters, sound, gaming, USB, HID,mice, keyboard, IDE/ATAPI controllers, system devices, even the processor.
    I think that's a bit much for a mouse/keyboard manufacturer to tackle-updating virtually every aspect of my computer. So, I exited.
    So far as I can tell, the keyboard behaves ok with just the old/original drivers, and I'm inclined to let it be.
    It is a USB connected KB, model Y-BF37. It has a bunch of neat internet related hot keys, and I'm not sure I'll use them anyway. Still, I'd like to at least enable them.
    Can anyone tell me how to download just the keyboard drivers and not have to select all of the other hardware items?

    Think you might have ended up somewhere else other then Logitech.

    Try this:
    Logitech Support

    Hey thanks, Ephemarial.
    Your link took me to the page I saw before, only this time I noticed a green, but illegible square that I must have missed before. It was near the bottom of the page.
    I clicked on it, and it let me download and install the new driver.
    Thank you so much.
    Problem is solved.
    Not sure if this is the correct way, but I guess the thread should now be considered closed.
    Thanks again.
