PS2 Keyboard not detected

Hi everyone,
I've connected my ps2 keyboard via ps2 to usb port adapter into my acer aspire one usb port, but it was not detected. The green leds did lit up once I plugged in the adapter in the usb port, so it means that there's no problem with the cord, right? I've downloaded this "Launch Manager" from cnet but I'm still figuring out how to use this. I'm I doing things right? Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Hi dbrunton,

Thank you for your reply. I've read your reference, so I think I'm not using the converter type since a pre-programmed chip wouldn't fit in the p2 connector cylinder . Well I was hoping you could I identify what's the real use of this cord, cause I just found it in my stack of usb cords :D. Thanks dbrunton.

I'm having trouble identifying the connectors at the NON-USB ends in your graphic.

They don't look like PS2 connectors or I am looking at it wrongly?
