Title: Keyboard Error
Post by: Mezmorized on May 25, 2006, 04:48:10 PM

Hi all! /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> I've had this computer for almost 2 years now and I normally leave it on... But that's not my problem LOL

I'm running XP Home... and when I power up from it being off I get a Keyboard error... and of course, my keyboard doesn't work. I have a wireless Microsoft mouse and KB. When I reboot it, then the keyboard works.

My mouse does work on the first boot up though. And if I happen to hit a keyboard key on the first boot up... it freezes.

Let me know what you all need to know /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Thanks!

Marc.

Since you know the exact make and model numbers of your keyboard mouse combo
Have you tried microsofts website for updated drivers or faq's

I've just visited MS's site and couldn't find anything for it. The model name is microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.0A and the model number is X09-66570

Any help would be appreciated here  /cool.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' />

Re-loaded most recent driver (which was the one I was using) and it's still the same.   /sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

Batteries are fine... This problem just didn't occur all of a sudden, it's existed ever since it was delivered to me.

Have you thought about contacting Microsoft
Maybe a replacement is needed?

I wish you would post the exact keyboard error, etc...

The keyboard error would show in the DOS screen on start up... and said only that "keyboard error".


It seems i have found the problem....

I thought I'd put on a regular mouse and keyboard for a while so I disconnected the wireless stuff. Everything was good... when I reconnected the wireless mouse and keyboard I changed something... the receiver for the wireless mouse and keyboard has one wire that splits into a PS2 keyboard hookup and a USB mouse hookup. I had a USB to PS2 adapter because I was encouraged to free up the USB port for other things. So when I hooked it back up, I connected the mouse in the USB port instead and haven't had a keyboard error since!
