DejanVesic,
Hardware not functioning properly is most likely caused by driver issues. The following is a link to a Microsoft article for troubleshooting keyboard problems: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/258826 Oftentimes, hardware issues can be resolved by installing the latest drivers, if any are available. -- freddy "DejanVesic" wrote: Hello.

I forgot in last post that I tried all above before; MsKey do not show that Calculator key is even pressed. Also, I can't find any newer drivers than those on Windows Update / IntelliType Pro 6.1.

DejanVesic,
It's OK to forget. I often forget to include information. From what you say, it seems you will need to wait for new drivers, or some other unknown fix, to correct the problem. -- freddy "DejanVesic" wrote: Hardware not functioning properly is most likely caused by driver issues.

I also have a Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard and Wireless Intellimouse that have functionality issues with Vista. A temporary solution is to open the the Keyboard and/or Mouse Icons in Control Panel and click OK to save setting changes. Your device "may" then work properly, as mine does, for a while. The real problem solution may be in the choice of USB ports and drivers. I have not experimented with that as of yet. -- BJT256 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
