Wireless Optical Desktop 4000

[Parrôtt]

Going off another post:

I just bought a MS cordless keyboard and mouse 4000. I installed the
software and hooked it up according to instructions using the USB2 port. I
then disconnected my wired keyboard and mouse from the computer. All was
well until I closed down the computer. When I restarted it, I received a
message telling me my keyboard wasn't connected or not working.

The only way I can use this wireless set is to use the PA/2 connection.

I'm running Windows XP Prof. Can someone tell my how I can get this
wireless set to work using my USB port?

Restart the computer, go into the BIOS and enable legacy USB support.

I too have just bought the MS cordless keyboard and mouse 4000. The KB works
fine but not the mouse. The mouse is sitting near the wireless receiver and
still nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for them both but
still nothing. I even tried the PA/2 connection and it doesn't want to work
for me. It's very frustrating when you want things to work and they don't. I
did enable the mouse / kb usb settings in BIOS. Any ideas why my mouse isn't
working. I have tried different sets of batteries as well for it. Ther are 2
Energizer rechargables currently in the mouse.

Thanks for your help


God Bless

I also just bought a Microsoft Wireless 4000 kb and mouse. I can only
get a menu display from the kb and no action whatever from the mouse.
This is the second kb and mouse. I took the first back. I have tried
it on 3 computers, two desktops and one laptop, All act the same way.
Does the wireless work for anyone?

Did you press the reset button on the sending unit so it would search
for devices? Did you then press the "Connect" button on the bottom of
the kb and bottom of the mouse?
