Keyboard special keys work until new hardware is found

[Academia]

Been trying to get my new MS wireless laser keyboard 6000 v2.0 working
completely.

The old standard keys all work. But the new ones like volume control do not.

The latest thing I've found is that if I go into device manager and
uninstall the two HID Non-User Input Data Filters and one USB Human
Interface Device and the reboot, the volume control key works at first.
After a new hardware found message.

While it works I hear disk activity. Then I get the message that new
hardware has been found and the volume control indicator on the screen fades
away and will not return.

Does this make any sense to you?

Got any suggestion as to what I can try?


Thanks a lot

Several "enhanced" keyboards usually require their "enhanced"
drivers. Have you looked at Intellitype (free for download @
Microsoft?)

It came with software (Intellitype 6.1 I think) but when I had problems I
downloaded it from MS but it is the same as what came with the keyboard.

Someone must have some idea as why it might work until that last hardware
found message.


Thanks.
