Microsoft Natural MultimediaKeyboard - Computer Cant Detect It
Aug 31, 2005
My computer is HP t588d. It comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Acouple of weeks ago I replaced them with Microsoft Natural MultimediaKeyboard and Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.
Since then, I have been trying to resolve the new keyboard problems forthe past 2 weekends and many evenings.
The set came with a split cable - USB and PS/2.
When I connect the cable to the computer USB and keyboard PS/2, thecomputer cannot detect my keyboard. (There is no problem with themouse)
When I disconnect the PS/2 and leave the USB on, then it can detect thekeyboard.
Problem - When I start typing on the keyboard, either it triggers offthe Calculator and HP Multimedia Player on typing the 3rd letter, orthe screen does not reflect what I type - It either jumps the order ora string of other letters appear.
i have windows XP home edition service pack 3. and i use Microsoft office 2003, and well recently it began to pop up and say microsoft office word has not been installed for current user. please run setup utility. Well i only have one user, never had another user created until recently (temporary fix) is there anything i can do, the main user is called the owner, it says its the computer admin, but i guess there is still an admin user, i cant get to that. the only way i can get ms office to work was to create a new user, open all the office programs, export the office registry, and import it to my main user, thats the only thing that works, for a little bit.
Since installing Windows XP SP2 (upgrade from SP1) I noticed that Standby does not function. When I manually go to Standby, or if my laptop tries to go into Standby as per the power management settings I have set, I get the following message: "Standby has been prevented by the Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard device driver. You may need to install an updated driver."
Any ideas on what I can try. I have tried uninstalling the keyboard in safe mode and rebooting to reinstall the keyboard drivers. I have also checked my BIOS settings, and tried resetting the power management settings. I have even updated my ATI video adapter drivers. I noticed the problem shortly after installing SP2. There are no updated drivers available from Gateway for the keyboard.
This one is for all you gamers who LOVE to LAN. It is much faster than finding an ip on the server, then typing in that longwinded address, and hoping your fingers didn't slip. Anyway, all you have to do is type the name of the computer you want to connect to in the "ip" place of any game. Your computer will automatically detect its ip, and you're ready to play!This will only work if you are playing across a private network and not across the internet.
i have a problem on my dell dimension 4400 desktop. i compressed the hard drive then uninstalled apple mobile device support and msn sign in assisstant and i disk cleaned it after that. then i restarted and everything is huge! its in 640x860 pixels or something, and the color is all messed up and it doesnt even look like XP heres a video: my screen is huge and i cant change the resolution, when i try and run natural color it says my graphics card isnt in high color, and when i go to settings it says im in 4bit color. How did this happen? i didnt uninstall anything that would cause this. if you dont know how to fix it can you tell me how this happened? btw i have a ''plug and play monitor on 64mb NVIDIA geforce 2 mx with tv out'
I've had this problem with this computer before, but not for a long time. It has recently resurfaced over the last week (during which the two major changes to my system were the addition of an ADSL router/connection, and the installation of XP Service Pack 2).Basically, I get the little torch (you know the one I mean, that swings left and right, searching), the first time I open "My Computer" after booting. After about 5-10 minutes, it finds my drives and everything can continue as normal. They remain found - it does not happen again until after I reboot.
A week ago it was working normally, but now it does this. What is strange is that I've made no additions of drives or changes to existing drives or their configurations, so I'm assuming it is an OS issue.Note though that it doesn't appear to be an issue affecting the whole of Windows Explorer - I can still immediately type in any folder path and go to it as normal before the drives are 'found'. It is only the main "My Computer" window which is affected
I have had windows update problems. I am now at the point where the following show in the add or remove programs. ( No other .net framework versions show) Installed is .net.Framework 3.5 SP1 Installed is Update for Microsoft >Net Framework 3.5 SP1 (KB963707) Installed is Microsoft Compression Client Pack 1.0 for Windows XP What other .net framework versions need to be installed? In what order should the versions be installed? What Web site do i download the versions from? O/S is Windows xp home sp2.
I have windows xp Oem, It tells me to uninstall windows Microsoft Express and then try again. But I can not unistall windows ME.I assume It has been installed for along time.I think I have to reformat my drive.I can save my folders and reinstall them. But I want same of the information on Outlook Express.Last time I reformatted I tried to put a copied Outlook Express in to the folder of Outlook Express and it did not work. I would like to load XP without reformatting.
It's not really my computer that has the problem. computer has this problem and unfortunately the genuine microsoft error is slowing his computer really badly. His problem is this: It asked for it to do some update on microsoft, so I thought "what the hell, and clicked okay or something, thinking it was the same as windows automatic updates. but after it was done, who would've guessed, It gave him an error saying his computer might be counterfeit or something
My name is CJ I have a Windows XP Home Edition Laptop Notebook and for the past few days its been automatically shutting down on me with no Error messages or Warning I installed Avast Anti Virus ran that and that didn't find anything I went to Microsoft Malicious Software ran that and that Didn't find anything
Windows live suite seems to be missing in my pc. Every time I attempt to install windows live messenger, I get an error message reading: "Catastrophic failiure. Windows live suite wasn't found (or something very similar to that)". I've checked around microsoft web page for some type of Live Suite installer, but no luck.

This time i was recconecting my storage HD, and boom a BSOD (oh i love these by now.) the error messave was "kernal_data_inpage_error", i boot my pc up again thinking it just had to do with the HD hooking up, went into battlefield 2 Pirates mod (its sooo fun) and boom another one... so i disconnected the storage HD and tried again. it continued, this time i didnt even get past BIOS, my Main HD wont even show up in Bios or boot. i tried to search for HD and redid connections nothing. this has happened before after a few hours it let me boot but now im tired of it.
Just installed windows XP home onto a new 160gb Western Digital IDE HDD. The bios detects the HDD correctly but windows only shows it as being 128gb. Windows is fully updated with SP2 etc. I've searched around the internet for this problem but haven't found anything so far.
My laptop froze, so I reinstalled windows XP home edition with the setup CD. Now my laptop does not detect the installed wireless modem. How to I fix this? Is there a configuration setting I am missing?
When I connect a USB flash drive I want a window to appear giving me the option to run (if there is an auto.inf file), play music (if music files), open in a Windows Explorer window, etc.This is exactly what occurs on my two Windows XP Pro machines. Nothing happens on my XP Home; I have to get to the drive through "My Computer."Is this an XP Home limitation? Or can you think of some setting I've missed? All 3 PCs have SP2 and all Microsoft critical updates. I have no reason to suspect malware on the XP Home machine, and it has nothing detected by AVG (free), Windows Defender, Ad-Aware or Spybot.The registry key NoDriveTypeAutoRun is Hex 91 on all machines. The Properties on the USB drives are the same.
Before I start, I should tell you all that I am re-posting this with all of the original correspondence at the end.I've done as described, put both drives back into their proper place on the tape and into the proper order (DVD-RW - master, DVD-ROM - slave). On a hunch, I decided to pop in a DVD-R disc, and this was detected just fine. I also put in a DVD-RW disc, but it was not detected. Seeing as how I have data I want to append to an old DVD-RW disc, is there anything left to do?
I have always used Windows to burn my cd's. Two days ago I got the message No CD or DVD device has been detected. I have Windows XP, Dell 4400, service pack 2, and while I can burn CD's with my other burner (Roxio), I really like Windows because of its features.
In device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers -> Primary Controller for Device 0 under advanced settings the transfer mode is set to: DMA if avaliable, the Current Mode is: PIO Mode.The hard drive is a 80G western Digital i think the WD800JD which is on its own ide cable connected to the primary connector on the motherboard. I am using windows XP Professional and the PCCHIPS MB. Also, when i start up my computer and it detects the devices for the hard drive it says its in Ultra DMA Mode 4 or 5, but in windows it isnt.
I wanted to burn a CD and so I put the CD into the computer and opened up windows media but it can't detect the disk or the drive. I went to another burner and the same thing occured except this time I got a message saying the following: "There are no compatible CD drives reported."I then exited and popped in a disk for a game.. I hear the drive accept the disk and it sounds like it is about to load but nothing happens. Its like the cd drive is non functional. My question is what might have happened and can I fix this/ how?
The computer I am working with is a Dell P4 desktop with 512 MB RAM, and Windows XP Home with SP2 that was purchased new in August 2005.The problem is that every time I plug a device into the system (MP4 player, USB printer, flash drive) it is not detected. If I look in Device Manager it shows up as an unknown device. If I then try to manually install the driver, it will install properly.I then decided to remove all USB Host Controllers, USB Root Hubs etc. After doing this and rebooting, all of these devices were unknown devices as well. Simply telling Windows to update the driver added the devices properly. Can anyone tell me if you have seen this before and if so, what the solution is?
I have a pc with 2 hardrives that has been working for quite a while now. One drive is IDE and another is a sata drive. the sata drive has a partition in which windows xp is installed on. Now its time to format this computer and give it a fresh new start, but then I start the windows set-up from the boot disc it doesnt detect the sata drive.
My problem: PC doesn't detect the CD and DVD-rom Drives. Up to a month ago they worked just fine. I scratch my head as to what I've done to make this happen. I have Registry Mechanic installed which scans on a dayly basis.
I've had my PC now for almost 5 years. Everything was fine until one day my Windows XP PC just froze. I restarted it and now my DVD-ROM, CD-RW ROM are no longer detected at the System POST Screen. instead of the Drives showing, it now says the Secondary master and secondary Slave drives fails.The only thing that is detected is my Seagate Hard Drive. When I press F1 to continue I get a messagesaying "NTLDR is missing and I have to restart. I put the Windows XP Pro Disk in the drive and the same message pops up over and over. So I went to the System POST Screen, pressed delete to enter Setup. I checked the BIOS and my DVD Rom and CD-RW ROM no longer appear.
