If it's a PS/2 connection (round, not USB) then you will need to turn off the computer, unplug/plug it in (to make sure it is securely plugged in) and then turn your computer back on.

She may have the plugs for the mouse and the keyboard switched. They are both PS/2 plugs.

considering its old, maybe shes mistaken and it isnt plugged in? its prolly not the answer your looking for, so its time for a knew state of the art infrared keyboard as a replacement from her?!?!?!

I'm guessing it's pre-USB
Try rebooting
