Microsoft Optical Pro keyborad problem

[Luckbox72]

I recently bought the Microsoft Optical Pro keyborad and mouse pack.
The mouse always works perfectly. I am running xp pro and have two
users on the PC. I am having an issue with the pc losing the hardware
for the Keyboard. Most of the time if I log in everythong works fine,
but if my wife logs in to here login first it is missing the hardware.
As soon as you pres any button the the keyboard xp freezes, Keyboard
and Mouse stop working. Every so often when I log in I get the same
problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver 3 times. I
have hit the button on the receiver, but seems to freeze xp. I have
tried the channel btton on the keyboard, and I get the same result. I
have downloaded the newest driver from microsoft, which is the same
that was included on the disk. It work perfect for the first three
days, Either of us could log in with no issues, but has not worked
correctly for a week now. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Why do you need a driver? Most keyboards from MS are seen as standard keyboards by the computer. You lose some of the non standard keys (some are built into windows like volume but other aren't like My Documents).
