Wireless Keyboard shenanigans
I've had a MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard for about a month
now. I am running Windows XP. For the first three weeks
the keyboard worked fine, every key producing the correct
output. However, last week, without any changes made to
the settings or system, both the ENTER key, the BACKSPACE
key and the Back Arrow (<-) key have started to act up.
Whenever I hit the BACKSPACE key, without any
modifiers, the Log Off Windows dialog box pops up. When
I hit the ENTER key (only the main ENTER key has this
problem, not the one on the NumPad) a new Internet
Explorer window loads my default home page. The Back
Arrow key doesn't work at all, and I am forced to use the
mouse to move back a letter.
Now as you can imagine this makes typing quite
difficult, and is extremely frustrating. To attempt to
remedy the problem I have reinstalled the Intellitype
2.22 software, scanned the system for virii and spyware,
checked my regional settings (US) and reconnected the USB
transmitter and devices... I am stumped.
Has anyone even heard of a problem like this? Any
suggestions how to fix it?
