| Keyboard & Mouse problem! Hi I've got a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 2.1. The keyboard and mouse work fine independantly. However, when used at the same time, the keyboard fails to respond. For instance, I'm playing Half Life 2. I hold down 'W' to move forwards. This is fine. However, if I continue to hold down 'W' and then move the mouse to look around, the keyboard stops responding and I stop moving forwards. Has anyone else heard of this problem, or is it faulty hardware do you think? Driving me nuts, would appreciate some help! ------ I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me. I think I'm getting the fear. Gigabyte DS4, e6300@3.01GHz,Corsair 520w Modular PSU,2gb Geil PC5300 DDRII,Xpertvision x1950pro 512mb,Daewoo L2299DM 22" TFT |

| Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? Sounds like an odd problem though, it's as if your reciever only accepts one signal at a time from one device.. weird - could be faulty hardware, but i'll have a root on google  http://shopping.msn.com/reviews/shp/?itemId=25235242 - someone seems to have a problem like it.. key stops responding if held down for too long Last edited by Whiternoise; 14-10-2006 at 06:02 PM.. |

| Have downloaded the Microsoft keyboard and mouse software for their website. There were no other drivers as far as I know. ------ I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me.
