You can try the following. If this does not work for you, please post an update and we will continue to work on this for you. If this resolves your issue, feedback is much appreciated.

1. Right click on My Computer and choose the Manage option.
2. In the Computer Management window that opens, select Device Manager.
3. Scroll down in the right side of the window until you see Keyboards.
4. Click the plus sign (+) next to Keyboards to view all installed keyboards.
5. Right click on any entries under Keyboards and choose the Uninstall option.
6. Once the keyboard has been uninstalled, unplug it from the computer. Wait about 5 seconds and then plugit back in. Windows should recognize the hardware as new and reinstall any device drivers for it.

USB Mouse works, keyboard does not

You will need to update the drivers on the computer for the docking station. It will be the windows seven drivers or lack of them that is causing a failure to remap the usb ports that the wireless dongle is plugged into.

My sound went of and it said no audio output device is installed

It seem like the drivers those you have are may not be updated or may be corrupted.
Download the latest drivers from the below website.
Then uninstall your old drivers from your laptop and reboot.
Then install the new audio drivers according to the Operating System that you are using (XP/ VISTA).
Again reboot your computer and it should work perfectly fine.

The Keyboard not working, MS Wireless, laser, desktop 5000

i don't like the sound of you taking the hard drive out of a old computer and loading it in your new one without reinstalling windows especially with windows XP your choice i guess.

Did you try and couple the keyboard and receiver by pressing and holding the button on the keyboard for a while?
