Windows Key by itself works, like wise W + R for Run, W + F for Find, W + F1 for Windows Help. I'm suing a Microsoft Natural Pro Keyboard (Intellitype s/w V2.1) and Intellimouse Explorer (Intellimouse S/w version 4). Both are USB. It's important to emphasise that W + E used to work, I have no idea why it's stopped.	Guest (0)

24988	2001-11-20 04:26:00	I have never used USB keyboards before so I don't know what they are like. Can you press Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Esc... if those commands don't work I'll assume it doesn't like more than one key pressed at a time	Guest (0)

In My case the key combi "(left) windows key" + E and "(left) windows key" + R didnt work. Try the RIGHT "windows key" + E. If this key combi works your keyboard is screwed. Try this: 1. Jam your keyboard a few times on your desk (I'm not kidding, this solved the problem for me!). 2. If it still doesn't work buy a new keyboard. cheers	haller (326)
