Wireless Keyboard Stopped Working

I am running Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

I had a Microsoft wireless comfort keyboard 4000 for about 2 years and never had a problem. I have the OEM software which is Intellitype Pro 6.1. This keyboard stopped working and my efforts to troubleshoot have all failed.

I went to my local Frye’s Superstore and found a deal on a Microsoft wireless natural multimedia keyboard and mouse combo. The OEM software supplied is the same Intellitype Pro 6.1

I uninstalled all the old hardware/software and reinstalled everything fresh and rebooted.

I have my PC setup with password at boot up and I was able to type in my password, however that’s as far as my keyboard will type. Some of the function buttons do work, i.e. My Documents, My Pictures etc but I just can’t type.

In device manager under keyboards is “Microsoft USB dual receiver wireless keyboard (Intellitype Pro). It also shows this device is working properly.

I launched mskey.exe and found the following:

The only attached device is Terminal Server Keyboard driver. If I uncheck the box “show attached devices only” my Microsoft USB Dual Receiver wireless keyboard intellitype pro – remembered. Is this a problem?

What do I do next?

 

Have you ever replaced battery/batteries in it? Does the software for your mouse and keyboard alert you to low batteries?
