Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 With Windows 7-64 Bit?
Dec 19, 2009
is anyone using the wired USB version of the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard 4000 with Windows 7 - 64 bit? I've downloaded the latest software/drivers for this and installed them but I still can't get the Shortcut/My Favorites keys to function correctly.These used to work fine with XP now no matter whcih of the 5 keys I press it opens the same program ( CoreFTP )I have each of them set up to open specific webpages but they don't.
Thinking about buying a new keyboard and mouse soon. I been looking at this type of keyboards for about a year now I'm not sure if that type of design would work the best for a gaming keyboard.
Can't believe what you read nowadays anymore. I bought a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 to replace an ailing optical laser mouse that's on its last legs, and on the package it said that one "AA" battery would last for one entire year without replacing. What it meant was, it would have took until the next spring before it's time to replace the battery.Apparently, the mouse doesn't think like that, it appears, and when I was looking down at it, there was a red warning light indicating that the single battery had already been exhausted from use. Between surfing the web and playing some Team Fortress 2 now and then this is more than just a "mobile" mouse.
Laptop Keyboard types gibberish after plugging in Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro.I connected my Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro to the USB port on my Samsung R70 laptop and the device automatically installed itself OK and keyboard worked.BUT I then disconnected the keyboard, reverting to the laptop kepboard, and some of the keys have changed.I was only able to get the laptop keyboard working again by doing a system restore.I checked the keyboard driver and it only has 1 listed.
I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 from XP, and I am using the Microsoft Natural Keyboard with the old ps/2 input. The problem is in Windows 7, the underscore on the keyboard does not work, it input a different character, so I am trying to find the original software drivers for it.
Since I'm running Windows 7 I thought I'd try to solve this on this forum, although the problem has plagued me all through vista as well but perhaps not nearly as much as it does now in 7.I have a Microsoft 4000 usb (wired) ergonomic "Natural" keyboard. I'll be on a forum typing up something (or in notepad, or anyplace I could possibly type) and all of a sudden the keyboard will stop responding to any key strokes. The only way to get it back to life is to logout and log back in, then the keyboard is working fine (unplugging it from the usb port works as well, although logging out and in is easier for me).When this happens, everything else on the computer is working perfectly fine, the mouse, display etc. It's just the keyboard that basically becomes totally inop. It doesn't matter what key I press they don't respond.
It's not a matter of an older keyboard that the wires might have broken or anything like that as this is a brand new keyboard. I've been using these MS 4000 keyboards for a few years now and have to replace them every year or less due to them wearing out from my fast and excessive typing but it doesn't matter, new or old, at some point, sometimes multiple times per day the keyboard stops responding on me.Any clues as to what might be causing this and more importantly how to prevent it from happening any further?
New work computer. Networked thru peer network, all computer had win xp....Hp didn't offer and drivers for this printer on Win 7, not even a generic...
I have an HP LaserJet 4000 that was once a workhorse printer for me. Couple of years ago, changed my laptop (ran XP professional) and now run Windows 7 Home Premium. The Acer laptop does not have a serial/parallel port. I bought a USB adapter - but never got the printer to run. Appropriate driver and what do I need to do to welcome back this printer?
Where can i download the driver for a HP Laserjet 4000 Printer that is compatible to Windows 7? I have the HP Laserjet 4000 Printer disk but it willwork with Windows 7.
I have an issue with my P8P67 PRO (Rev 3.1). Mouse but mainly keyboard (both Microsoft) are not detected during the cold boot from time to time, i suspect the BIOS is the one to blame i have the latest version, what can i do?Both are USB.When i turn on the PC from time to time a long beep takes place and a message during posting (no keyboard detected). Sometimes happens sometimes not. PS/2 ports didn't work for me, when im using them NOTHING gets recognized (and yes i turned off the PC before plugging them).
My current setup has a Pentium G620 (HD Graphics 1000), which runs fairly well except for a few major drawbacks:
When I want to watch Blu-Ray movies, PowerDVD's interface has some really annoying stuttering. skipping ahead or ff/rw also is somewhat unstable If I want to convert a movie, it takes well over 6 hours to do so.
(see disclosure) Watching .mkv's on my XBOX via WMC is slightly unstable, as it'll lock up if I try to fast forward or rewind 1080p videos (I don't know exactly how this works, but I'm pretty sure the computer converts the .mkv to an XBOX-compatible format before streaming to the XBOX)
SO basically I'd like to upgrade. If I had known beforehand that the Pentium wouldn't be up to snuff enough I'd had gone for the i3-2105 (or 2125 if I can find it), Since it has HD 2000 and Quick Sync (which I think would solve my problems). But since I'm upgrading, I'd want something superior enough to make it worthwhile. That's also why I'm waiting for Ivy Bridge, even though it's fairly similar to SB.
I don't think the details for the IB graphics are finalized, but I think I read that the 2500 was supposed to be the 2000 but with DX 11, OCL 1.1, and one or two more channels. But the 4000 is supposed to be a lot more powerful, and might futureproof me a bit if I decided to go into gaming.
I have both a Macbook and a PC laptop. I use an Airport for my wireless network. I connected my HP 4000 to the Airport via cable. My Macbook finds the HP fine. My PC does not. The only time I can see the HP is when my Macbook is turned on and logged on. Once in awhile, I can even get the HP to print a test page when the Macbook is on, but that's about it. I want to be able to print directly to the HP without having to have the Macbook on also.
I have downloaded the Windows 7 Release Candidate and I enjoy it. However, I cannot seem to find Logitech QuickCam 4000 drivers that are compatible. Can anyone help me?
I was with the drivers from nVidia GeForce 4 MX 4000 on my Windows 7, but yesterday I inadvertently uninstalled with ccleaner, and am now looking at, I tried installing several times did not?
Odd situation. I have two video cards a geforce4 MX 4000 and built in Intel Q965/Q963 installed in a HP dc5700 with 1GB of RAM running Windows 7 Enterprise fresh install. The onboard Intell has the latest drivers from HP and the nVidia I got working using the 81.98 forceware driver.
If I select the nvidia card as the main video card in the BIOS the display will show up on just one monitor (the one plugged in to the card), if I look in the device manager it sees both cards w/o errors yet I have no option for dual display, if I click on "detect" it finds nothing. Also all the nvidia software runs fine.
However if I select the onboard card as the default then the display goes on just it's monitor but this time in device manager the nvidia card has the "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)" message and obviouly no option for dual monitors.
It would seem both drivers and monitors are working since they work independantly, it's just that Windows7 doesn't seem to want them to play together. Also this situation worked fine when pc was WinXP.
I have to hardwire my connection to type this. I installed all the graphics/wireless/fingerprint drivers but I still cannot access wireless internet. I don't know what's going on. I just reformatted the PC a couple hours ago. (not factory reset, windows 7 ultimate upgrade)
I recently decided to update my graphics drivers on my pc but its not going too well to start of here are my PC specs,
[code]...
So when I go to update my drivers to radeon website select the card series go win 7 64 and download the drivers,Before I install the drivers I go to control panel add/remove and remove the old driver software as the website instructed,after all the old stuff is removed I restart to be safe and install new driver software,no errors during the installation but as soon as its done monitor goes dark the pc fans start to work loudly,I wait a little with no success I power down the PC and turn it back on,starting PC back up everything works for about a minute until catalyst control center decides to load its self at which point blam black screen and pc shuts off at which point I have no choice to go safe mode and roll back to previous drivers,I tried doing it thru device manager internet option but it just told me im all up to date possibly because i never update my windows and updates are turned off.I know Im not update on drivers my software according to catalyst is 11.5 and missing some important drivers
