Microsoft Keyboard print fades

It's the second microsoft keyboard I bought and it does the same thing as the first - the letters/numbers disappear more I use it. Does anyone else have this problem?

As I'm not a touch typist there are only so many letters that I remember when the keys are empty! I don't understand this at all. It is obviously not a technical problem, but it is a problem and that microsoft should be aware of and try to remedy.

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    This is a forum for peer-to-peer and this product is not compatible with Windows 7 - so - don't.  Microsoft is not what you need.  Should have read the list of compatibility (operating systems) probably printed on the box.

  • Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth problem

    I have had and used the Elite and Intellimouse keyboard for many years.  My keyboard has recently developed a problem. I am able to recognize and install it, but it does not 'Connected', such as the IntelliMouse. Or it does not show recently used. The only information shown in the Bluetooth Panel is Microsoft Keyboard and password activated.

    The mouse shows Microsoft Mouse, no password, connected.

    When I select the keyboard and click on properties, then on services, the drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID) box is not checked. I check it, then hit apply, and I get the error Service Bluetooth "access denied."

    I was able to install the keyboard on another computer and it works fine.  The support of bluetooth and bluetooth services seem to work fine as well.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the keyboard and the mouse and the mouse still works fine but no resolution on the keyboard. I am running XP SP3 on my computer, and it has all the latest updates and drivers that I can find.  In addition, I was the software updates when the keyboard stop working.  Very well, I was typing a moment and the next day, that he had just left.

    Suggestions on how to proceed?

    After almost 7 months together trying to figure out this I finally got mine to work! After reading the post from Yawp73, I didn't uninstall my old version of Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth and reinstalled the latest version of Microsoft. When I went to add devices and I saw the keyboard icon, click on it instead and press 'next' to put in the passcode, I right click it and went to properties, then services and CHECKED the box for the drivers for keyboard, mice, etc.. After hitting applied, my elite keyboard started working without even putting a pass code! YES! THANKS Yawp73!  I really hope that it works for everyone because this question drove me INSANE! Good luck!!!

  • Microsoft Sidewinder x 4 keyboard and program Microsoft Keyboard in Vista

    I just connected a Microsoft Sidewinder x 4 keyboard in Vista after installing Intellitype 7.1.  The Microsoft Keyboard program continues to show an old "Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard' as a default. I changed the Sidewinder keyboard, but as soon as I click OK in the Microsoft Keyboard window, it restores the old wireless keyboard (is no longer attached) when I opened the window. I uninstalled all the keyboards in the Device Manager and rebooted Vista.  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Intellitype with no luck. Can someone help? Thank you.

    Yep, a clean install would do :-)

    A test, I plugged my X 4 my laptop Win7. He found as a "composite input device", but the bank lights do not come, so I guess that it relies on the software to make them work. I didn't install Intellitype, so I still think there is a problem with the installation of the software on your computer. You can download and install Revo Uninstaller, I have mentioned earlier, it allows to eliminate all traces of Intellitype, reboot, and reinstall. I think that even without the software installed, there will be always an HID input device listed in Device Manager, but not two. If I had the PC here, I would like to try it, but I'm in no hurry for the time or anything since I am retired :-)

  • SR] cannot repair the military record [l:20 {10}] "tcpmon.ini" Microsoft-Windows-printing-StandardPortMonitor-TCPMonINI

    Good afternoon

    Laptop of my administrator has a file tcpmon.ini which is apparently corrupt.

    When I ran ' sfc/scannow' and then checked the logfile C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS, I found 4 lines that State tcpmon.ini is not repairable.  I copied these 4 lines in the CBS log file and then paste directly below:

    I ran ' sfc/scannow' in normal windows mode also ran ' sfc/scannow' in safe mode without network.  In both cases, I get message «cannot repair... tcpmon.ini...» "in the CBS log file.  I did a complete virus scan (w / Symantec), and no viruses were found.  I ran a full sweep of Windows Defender, and found no malicious or unwanted software.

    The network card is a "Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller", and I've recently updated to the latest version of the driver (Driver Version: 12.2.0.3;) Driver date: 28/05/2009. Driver provider: Broadcam).  The driver update did not set the tcpmon.ini file.

    I have to uninstall and reinstall the network adapter to fix the tcpmon.ini file?  Or y at - it another way of difficulty tcpmon.ini?  Can I generate and post a hijackthis log?

    Thanks for any help.

    Plug on the laptop with the corrupted tcpmon.ini file:

  • With the help of Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 (last) and need Numpad

    So I'm on Windows 7, using a Vostro 3446 with no paved hard dog digital, dedicated numeric keypad or NUMPAD FN (FN/UIO-JKL, like on a Dell D800).

    I found this program, but I'm wondering 2 things

    -I want to use the keys FN + Key or icon + Windows key

    -I want to be able to use all functions on numeric keypad, I do not have (I have PgDn, PgUp, Home, End) which are Num0-9, NumLock to add, subtract, divide and multiple are not necessary, but if I would be good

    -Would I any Type in "NUM1", 'NUM2', etc. or Ref. as "VK_OEM_102" in the pop-up window, and if this number is therefore NUM0-9

    So far the format ' NUM ',?? (The number) and the "VK_NUMPAD?" format does not work

    Are these it (I had to IsKeyPressed - GECK) cause during the test, there was insert 'NUM0-9' not the real number (let me try hexadecimal)

    0 X 47 71 NUM7
    0 48 72 NUM8 X
    0 X 49 73 NUM9
    0X4A 74 NUM-
    0X4B 75 NUM4
    0X4C 76 NUM5
    0X4D 77 NUM6
    0X4E NUM 78 +.
    0X4F 79 NUM1
    0 50 80 NUM2 X
    0 51 81 NUM3 X
    0 52 82 NUM0 X
    53 83 NUM 0 X.

    Or are these he (http://www.kbdedit.com/manual/low_level_vk_list.html) cause VK_NUMPAD0-9 do not work due to the limit of 4 characters

    VK_NUMPAD0 0 x 60 NUMPAD 0
    VK_NUMPAD1 0x61 NUMPAD 1
    VK_NUMPAD2 0 x 62 NUMPAD 2
    VK_NUMPAD3 0 x 63 NUMPAD 3
    VK_NUMPAD4 0 x 64 Numeric keypad 4
    VK_NUMPAD5 0 x 65 NUMPAD 5
    VK_NUMPAD6 0 x 66 Numeric keypad 6
    VK_NUMPAD7 0 x 67 Numeric keypad 7
    VK_NUMPAD8 0 x 68 Numeric keypad 8
    VK_NUMPAD9 0 x 69

    Numeric keypad 9

    VK_NUMLOCK 0 X 90 Numlock

    It is anyway they would update the program or y at - it a way to specifically tell the application to use the numeric keypad as how Microsoft Office uses special characters to search & replace "Enter/Return".

    I think that's what I should ask what is the Point of Code for the keypad (as Google thinks I'm looking for special characters)?

    Help > code point - a digital reference in a coding. In Windows, this is usually the numeric Unicode character value. Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator can accept Unicode code points like "U + # ' or '\x###' values.

    According to the program 4, NUM4 and 0 x 64 are all the 4 is 4 and Numpad 4 the same cause I use a mod that needs NUM4 and does not meet the 4
