Cant Install MS Wireless Keyboard 3000 V2
Oct 24, 2010
MS Wireless mouse 5000 with MS Bluetooth dongle. I bought the set to install on my desktop eMachine, XP w/SP3. The idiotic instructions only showed inserting the batteries into the KB and mouse and then inserting the BT transceiver into a USB port. Nothing. And the KB and mouse don't have buttons on the bottom. The worst thing is that all the MS articles I've read reference the "Bluetooth Devices" icon in the control panel.
When I bring up the CP, there is no BT icon there. I've done the command line "btprops.cpl" and nothing happens. I've turned the PC off, booted back again, and no plug and play detection of the BT dongle. When I go into the Device Manager, and check the properties of both the KB and mouse, both say they are installed and working properly! The KB and mouse set came with an installation CD and that was it. No freaking user manual and I can't find one on the CD.

Searched the web on this one - most people seem to have encountered similar issues - tried their resolutions but to no avail. Problem is: when installing XP pro it comes to 34min device installing mark and then reboots. (WIN2k installs ok)
1/ disabaling all non-essential internal/external devices (ie switch off BIOS in BIOS / unplug).
2/ slipstream SP1a
3/ slipstram SP2
4/ Upgrade from Windows 9x
5/ Upgraqde from Win2k.
6/ Changing video card
The only thing I havent tried and am doing now is checking BIOS upgrade.

Is it impossible to do a clean reinstall of Win XP with a wireless keyboard and mouse?I can boot to BIOS and edit my BIOS with my wireless keyboard, but I can't when I boot to the Windows install disk.Is there a work-around, other than pulling out my old keyboard and mouse?

I have two computers running side by side. They both run Win XP, one Home and one Pro. I'm using two monitors but I want to be able to use the same keyboard and mouse for both computers. My question is if I use a KVM switch that supports USB would it be compatible with my wirelss mouse and wireless keyboard that both have USB interfaces? Also, any recommendations for a good KVM switch? I would like one that also gives me the option to share my speakers.

I've been given a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 700:the first time i've connected the Receiver, XP auto-installed it and the keyboard worked fine but after rebooting, the keyboard isnt working any longer. I tried syncing the keyboard, changed the batteries, reinstalled but it still wont work: do you have any suggestions on how to get it to work?

I know this is so simple for someone,but not me. I just changed the batteries in my wireless keyboard and now it will not type. My wireless mouse still works. I have had this problem before, but it has been so long ago I can't remember what I did to get it started again. I am using my laptop now.

Windows XP Prof Service Pack 2 Microsoft Intelli Type Wireless Keyboard My problem is simply!!! When booting my computer the keyboard does not become active until windows has loaded. Hense I am unable to press F8 during the boot process and therefore cannot boot to safe mode. To make matters worse there is a F/Lock key on the keyboard which on starting is always inactive.

I have an IBM Thinkpad R51, which had Ubuntu before (and XP a long time ago.Now I reinstalled Windows XP (licensed, just in case you ask). But the wireless network adapter (internal) doesn't seem to be recognized. So I downloaded and installed the driver, but it doesn't do anything. I went to see if XP recognized the card but it doesn't, it is listed in "Other hardware" with a question mark.I do not have a wireless icon either in the notification area or the Network Connections.

That's because this problem is. I've searched all over the net and while I've found many people who've had problems with their compact wireless-g devices (turns out I got lucky with my last system), nobody's problem quite fits what is happening here.Ok, so I made the carnal error of plugging the damn thing in before I installed the software off of the CD. That's the only possible reason I can think of for why it's giving me this grief, unless it's an XP 64 issue. When I was installing the driver, the install program hanged at 30% - I left it for at least 10 minutes with no activity at all. I closed it and control-alt-delete-killed the installshield, opened up the install utility. and it said "The Driver has already been installed. If you want to replace this driver, you must uninstall the old driver." I first tried add/remove programs. It opened up, did the whole thing, gave me the satisfactory "installshield has finished uninstalling the program, yada yada...except the program never disappears from the add/remove programs list! I tried running it again...same problem. I tried running the uninstall program off of the cd...same problem. I tried deleting the entire compact wireless G folder and even hunted through the registry...nothing. I checked for system restore but it doesn't look like it's going to get me back to before I installed this thing for the first time. What do I do?

The reason this is urgent for me is because I am leaving to move into my new apartment tomorrow morning, and once I am gone from my house, pretty much any technical problem will not get solved (I am sure many of you here are familiar with this position).My brother's computer was full of viruses so I reinstalled a fresh copy of windows, and everything is working great.But I go to install the Westell wireless G USB adapter for internet, and the driver will not install.I have installed the utility first - it then asks to connect the device which I did. The new hardware thing pops up, and since I don't have the installation CD (lost it, but downloaded the files from Westell's website), I browse to the folder of those files, and it searches and says it cannot find the driver.

I think ive got a keylogger, so I am reinstalling XP. (I am very paranoid, I can't stand it) My Windows XP cd was very scratched, so I made a back-up, then threw it away (saved serial and stuff). First problem: when trying to burn the iso that I created from the original disk, when I am done burning with CDBurnerXP it crashes. Then, for the big boy. When I restart my computer, boot from CD, the installation loads all drivers and stuff, but my keyboard won't work so I can't continue with the installation.

Trying to establish a new wireless network using Linksys router and PC card with speedbooster. The desktop PC has always had only one user (administrator). Never has had a password. When trying to install the router software it fails because I don't hav administrator privileges. How do I overcome this? Can I re-set administrator privileges? I'm using XP Home with all MS updates and SP2

On my Acer TravelMate 2480, I reformatted it and reinstalled Windows XP. There is not wireless icon. I went to the Acer webpage and downloaded the drivers I guessed I might need. When I try to update drivers on the Acer, and choose my flash drive stick, the computer doesn't see any drivers on the flash drive. I will probably end up having to pay to have the whole thing redone the right way

I am trying to run a system restore on one of my computers. I was trying to install a LinkSys wireless router on it. The router would start up fine, but after about 5 or 10 minutes, it would stop working and I would have no internet connection. I went and got a Dlink router, and thought I would do a system restore to before I attempted to put on the LinkSys router. The system restore has been running for more than an hour. The progress bar has gone about 80% and it seems nothing else is happening. I am fearful of turning off the machine in the middle of a restore.

Ok, here is the situation, I want to know is there a way to repair or reinstall windows like this http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...l-windows.html Instead of booting with a XP Installation CD just putting in the cd and installing? Would a upgrade work? I use NTFS... The reason why I want to not boot with the CD is because I keep getting Verifying DMI Pool Data but instead of it sitting there forever like that, like most people, it shows the options like boot with safe mode or normal or safe mode with command prompt.

Windows XP Professional I can't get access to the hardware specs. My nephew put the computer together for me from componets purchased at Fry's. For years it has given no problems until now... I am unable to even log on to look up the CPU info...My nephew is in the middle of getting married or I would ask him.
The problem started with a MicroSoft Error message and inability to open/print Word docs. When I tried to open/print a doc. I was receiving error: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application." I researched this and found a fix on the Microsoft They stated that the problem occures if you upgrade/reinstall/repair Windows XP. A friend of my husbands had put my XP OP disc into my computer trying to copy it and I think he might have inadvertently loaded it? ...

A few of our DNS servers are reporting Event ID 3000 periodically. Full logging is on. There are no failure entries prior to the event. I can not find much on TechNet either. I see that this is a problem for others in other forums, but I could not find a resolution on any site. Anyone have a cause and resolution? Details of the error entry:
Event Type:Warning
Event Source:DNS
Event Category:None
Event ID:3000
Date:3/13/2006
Time:6:21:05 AM
User:N/A
Computer:domain controller (changed name)
Description:
The DNS server has encountered numerous run-time events. To determine the initial cause of these run-time events, examine the DNS server event log entries that precede this event. To prevent the DNS server from filling the event log too quickly, subsequent events with Event IDs higher than 3000 will be suppressed until events are no longer being generated at a high rate.

Checking computer for a friend. It is a Pentium 4 2.80GHz running windows xp, bios ver. A01, 512MB memory. They called Dell and were told to take it to a technician, which I am not, and they cannot afford it.When turned on it showed the Dell logo and then asked for a password which they had no idea what it was. It would not do anything at all. After doing a lot of reading on this forum and others I decided to remove the password by changing the jumper on the motherboard that said ctr password for,30 seconds, and then putting it back in place and start the computer again.It then booted to a screen that said " We appologize for the inconvenience but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. After some more explaining of possible causes it had the options of starting in, Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Safe Mode with Networking, Last known good configeration, Start Windows normally. Use the up and down arrows to highlight your choice.When I do highlight any one of the choices and hit enter the computer stops responding at all.
I can now get in and check the system info etc. It showed no password. It also shows no cdrom installed and it has a cdrom and dvd. It only shows the hard drive and floppy drive. The hard drive is a Segate Barracuda 7200.7 80 Gbytes.I ran the diagnostics that are on the computer and everything checked out except the Read Test on the hard drive. It said IDE Disk Error Code 0F00.0244 Msg Block 77765935. Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected.I then tried to run a virus check from Fix-It Utilities on floppy. After the second disc it stopped and said it was unable to read drive c to restore boot area.Did I do something to the hard drive by removing the password and is there any way to check the hard drive for a virus? I don't understand why Dell told them to take it to a tech.

My problem is : When I called Verizon yesterday, I was told that to connect the printer to the router, I do not need the print server. I was asked to locate the ethernet port at the back of my printer, plug the ethernet port cable and connect it to the Verizon router. Unfortunately, my printer does not have an ethernet port. I was told to call HP,and I did but did not get much help.What should I do to get my wireless printer work? I have a PC and a laptop. Prior to Verizon, I have a DSL and Vonage, both routers and print server did not have the same problem.

I took my daughters Gateway M320 laptop and did a restore from the CDs that came with the laptop. After doing all the Microsoft Updates, ALL the wireless driver installs from Gateway there is no 'Wireless Network Connection' icon. I have also checked Device Manager and there is no wireless adapter. Before this exercise she was running wireless fine. It does work 'hard wired' but no wireless icon.

My home pc is running slow and i wanted to do some poking around and I checked the folder properties for My Documents folder and it listed something like 3000 folders. However when I open it up there is roughly 20, at the most. Where are these other folders coming from? I do have show hidden folders. I also have a decent amount of mp3's, maybe a couple hundred folders there, but nothing in the 1000s range.
- How can i found out what all these folders are?
- Also can anyone recommend a do-it-yourself site/guide to tackle slow pc issues? I want to go thru my pc and delete all the unnecessary garbage that comes with it and what i don't need.

We have two laptops and one wireless (HP Photosmart C7280) printer. Our laptops both connect to the internet wirelessly through a router. I was able to install and can print wirelessly from my laptop (a Mac) with no problems. However, we cannot figure out how to print wirelessly from my boyfriend's laptop (a Dell). We have installed the printer software and the printer itself on his laptop, and the laptop is able to identify the wireless printer over the network. We made sure that the printer is set to "online" and that file/printer sharing is turned on. But, whenever we go to print any kind of a file, we get an error message simply stating that the printer was unable to print and that we should run the troubleshooter. So, we run the troubleshooter, and we get this message:"The troubleshooter was not able to ping (detect a connection with) your print server. This might be the cause of the problem. Verify that your network is configured correctly and that you are connected to the network."
I am more used to working with Macs and my boyfriend is computer illiterate, so we're a bit lost as to what this means. I was able to set up a wireless network connection on his laptop, but beyond that I'm not sure what else to do. Most of the other advice I've seen online involves a wireless printer that is wired to one computer, and another laptop trying to wirelessly access that printer through the connected computer...if that makes any sense. Our printer isn't wired to anything, and we just can't figure out why it'll print wirelessly on the Mac but not on the Dell laptop. Any ideas?
