| 1202024 | 2011-05-14 07:43:00 | Hi, Ok, so recently I upgraded my pc - refer my post pressf1.pcworld.co.nz I'm now having problems with my Microsoft Natural MultiMedia Keyboard 1.0A - note it's a ps/2 connection, not usb. Prior to this upgrade, my keyboard very occasionally wouldn't work when xp booted to the password screen. I would simply put the pc in standby and then click the mouse to get it out of standby and it would then work. A pain I know, but it only occurred once a month at that. Post my new upgrade, the keyboard doesn't work at all now. Although, once I type in the password and hit enter with an older ps/2 keyboard (a genius), and then quickly replace while windows is booting, the keyboard will work. I have tried reinstalling the drivers. In the hardware, it shows that I have a logitech ps/2 keyboard - which I do not. When I try to update the drivers for this, windows tells me it can't find any better ones than I have. I also have a Belkin n52te which shows up as a HID device, before they both worked happy with each other so I can't think this is causing any conflicts. When I was going through the process of installing all the new required drivers, I used the old keyboard. Any help/advice to fix would be gratefully received. Thanks |

Install Intellitype Pro Thanks, I have tried this and it worked the first time but only the once. It didn't work after the second reboot. I originally installed the drivers from the disk that came with my keyboard. You shouldn't hotplug any PS/2 device - it can cause damage to the motherboard and\or the device itself. I know, I only did it once and while it was booting. |

| 1202030 | 2011-05-15 05:33:00 | Seems to be spasmodic at the moment, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't work, the standby option does work, but a simple shutdown and reboot will. | hsvman12 (12360) | ||
| 1202031 | 2011-05-15 05:44:00 | Maybe the keyboard is faulty? That makes sense if it had problems before the upgrade too. Maybe the old motherboard was more tolerant of it but the new one not so much |

Post my new upgrade, the keyboard doesn't work at all now . Chuck it and get a new keyboard . You don't have issues with the other one, and this was playing up prior, time to bury it . |
