| 618280 | 2007-12-06 00:48:00 | Since they are USB human interface devices, have you got the "Legacy" options set right in the BIOS? That's the sort of obvious (in hindsight) thing I'd look for. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 618281 | 2007-12-06 01:01:00 | Hmmmmm Remember 1 wireless once, cant remember what brand though - but the mouse and keyboard were really fussy about what make of batteries they had installed, tried several untill it went. She's deciding whether to get Logitech wireless or Logitech corded Personally unless wireless is really needed I'd go wired - as you know when wireless plays up you need a wired KB/mouse to get it going again. |

| 618282 | 2007-12-06 01:23:00 | I had the same problem with a Microsoft cordless keyboard and mouse and it was just a matter of getting both devices to synchronise correctly with the receiver. Here are the instructions I followed for the MS devices, it is probably similar for Dell. To resynchronize the mouse or keyboard to the receiver, follow these steps. Note When you synchronize the mouse or the keyboard with the receiver, put the device near the receiver and put other wireless keyboards and mouse more than six feet away. 1. Press the button on the receiver, and then verify that the light on the receiver starts to blink. 2. Press and release the Connect Channel button on the bottom of your mouse or keyboard. 3. Check the green light on the receiver. A steady green light means the synchronization was successful. If the problem persists, try steps 1 through 3 again. |

| 618283 | 2007-12-06 01:32:00 | it was just a matter of getting both devices to synchronise correctly with the receiver. . What do you think I was doing for 90 minutes? It won't. I chnaged its batteires, actually they are fine. She had decent ones in it. I did the button business several times, several ways, mouse and keyboard on their own, in combo etc etc etc. All other devices plugged into USB are just fine. It is a new PC.... Anyway like I said, shes lost interest now and is just deciding which Logitech to get. I adviced her to get corded. I hate wireless anyway, the battery always dies just at that critical moment in your game.:eek: |

Beat me to it, thats what I would check 1st......does the usb reciever and kb\mouse work with any other pc's? |

| 618286 | 2007-12-06 23:21:00 | Come on, thats the first thing I checked.............Shes got another KB and mouse now. Thanks for the suggestions anyway. I was hoping Dell was wrong and it did have a secret driver........just knackered I'd say. Why not, the rest of the Dell was........ |
