Logitech Wireless Keyboard - Connecting problem

    I had to remove the wireless USB stick from the USB port.

    I have now replaced it. I was able to reconnect the wireless mouse no problem, but I'm having problems with the keyboard.

    A prompt appears saying that something (the keyboard) wants to connect with the computer. It asks for a connection key. "Entering the pairing code for this device."

    1. I have no idea what this key might be, or where it might be found.

    2. Even if I knew, I couldn't type it into the box anyway. Or could I?

    Help!

    Thanks.

    D.

    The pairing key is probably underneath the keyboard, on a sticker somewhere. I'm guessing its a bluetooth one. A workaround for the keyboard issue would be to use the Windows on screen keyboard, look in start>All Programs>Accessories>Accesability/ease of access>On screen keyboard

    Nick,

    Sorted.

    By removing and replacing the batteries, I forced the key board to generate a new key (apparently! :rolleyes:) and I was able to type this in using the keyboard and reconnect.

    Thanks for your help!

    Ahh the joys of wireless. I gave up on wireless mice/keyboards years ago, never looked back. Such a nuisance with batteries, connecting and all that b*llocks, have a generic Dell keyboard and a wired laser mouse now, makes all the difference :)
