Wireless keyboard problem

Shulgin · 2010-05-08 22:51:37

I`m wondering if someone can help me out with this. I have a problem with my wireless keyboard. It works fine but when resuming from sleep when I press a key it repeats and repeats forever and the only way to fix it is to unplug and plug the recieve dongle. Is there any such program or setting that could reset the dongle…

Thanks lads.

try a different dongle , they are under €3 from dealextreme
uninstall and reinstall the dongle sw or look for updates on the web

or it could be the device , try it on another computer

tbh you can use other devices to do this job

Thanks for the reply.
Wouldnt the new dongle have to match the old one? I have another rf wireless dongle from another keyboard and it doesnt recieve the signal.

I don`t have a pda/smartphone to try the other way

It's bluetooth

there may be some service you can restart on resume but that's very messy an updated driver would be better
