Microsoft Wireless Comfort keyboard keys stop working

My comfort 4000 model 1045 keyboard works ok, but the "My Favorite" and the lever of the Magnifier on the keyboard, and the magnifying glass on the mouse button stop working.  Any help out there?

  • What do all the Microsoft 5000 wireless comfort keyboard keys?

    I just bought the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard and Mouse Combo 5000.

    I've looked everywhere but can't find anything to explain how all the keys on the keyboard
    and the mouse buttons. Nothing came with the unit and I can not find this simple information on your website.
    Can you please direct me where I can get this info or you can give it here?
    Thank you!
    But what is the control panel you are referring?
     

    I was referring to Windows 7 Control Panel. To access the Control Panel click on the ORB to Start on the taskbar to display the start menu. On the right side, you should see the control panel.

    When you initially open the Control Panel, it may be in view by: category (top right). Click on the small arrow to the right of the category to change large icons or small iconsview. When you are in the display of the icon, you should see the applets for keyboard and mouse.

    The link of the control panel in the start menu is usually displayed by default, but there is a chance that it will not be displayed, so you will need to enable it. To do Yes right click on an empty space on the taskbar, on the shortcut menu that appears, click Properties. In the bar of tasks and the Start Menu Properties dialog box, click the Start Menu tab, and then click the Customize button. In the dialog box Customize the Start Menu to the top of the list, you should see the Control Panel, select display as a link and click OK at the bottom of the dialog box, then in the dialog box properties of the Start Menu and task bar again click OK at the bottom. The link to the control panel should now be displayed in the start menu.

    Another way to display the control panel is Panel by typing in the search on the Start menu, the control panel should appear at the top of the list under programs, click, or press enter .

    Once in the Control Panel, you should be able to follow the steps I described in my first answer.

    Since you were not aware of how to access the Control Panel, it sounds as if you're somewhat new to Windows 7, the links below can help you to become more familiar with Windows 7.

  • Mouse Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 and 5000 laser will not work with Windows 7. Is there a fix for this problem?

    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 installed and much to my dismay found my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 and Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 are not compatible with Windows 7.  If no fix that means I have to start avery good keyboard and mouse I used comfortable for a long time.

    When you try to load from the disk, the message informed me that it was not compatible and use the automated system to find a fix has not produced an answer.  My keyboard and mouse are in great shape and it is not necessary for me to replace it with a new one from a material point of view.

    The drivers for both devices on the drive that you are probably older versions, you should be able to download the latest drivers for Windows 7 in the pages below, you will need to choose which version of Windows 7, you are running, that is, 32-bit or 64-bit.

  • Driver problem Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000

    I'm on Windows x 64 8.
    I have a strange problem with my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000. Whenever I start the computer, the volume buttons (only ones) do not work unless I unplug the wireless adapter and plug it in again. I suspect a problem with the Microsoft Mouse and keyboard detection driver (USB) (version 9.2.154.0). I tried to roll back to an earlier version, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center (latest version), using the default keyboard drivers Microsoft, even changing compatibility. The problem persists. Please note that I never had this problem when running Windows 7. Any ideas?
    Thank you

    It worked for me...

    1 remove the batteries.

    2 turn off your computer.

    3. move the dongle on another USB port. (USB 3.0 if you have one)

    4. put back in place the batteries.

    5 re-boot!

    It fixed my issue with all the key assignments!

    Good luck!

    I am not sure, but it seems that either the battery needs

    Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 not recognized on the new 64 bit Windows 7 computer. The computer thinks I have a keyboard 600 wireframe. I tried to install the IntelliType 8.2 64-bit for Windows 7 driver but it tells me that I already have a newer driver installed and won't let me install it.

  • Satellite A105-S4254: several keyboard keys stop working after startup

    Hey

    I have a laptop A105-S4254, which is less than a year.
    When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
    The F keys will however continue to work.
    I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.

    A number of key just freeze.
    When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.

    Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
    Thanx

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
    But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
    Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.

    It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.

    See you soon

  • Microsoft Wireless Comfort keyboard 1. 0 has (1027)

    have not used the above keyboard and mouse laser wireless 6000 for many months.  recently tried to use them with no luck.  changing the batteries on both devices.  now the mouse works fine, but the keyboard does not respond.  using vista 32 bit... any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    lightinthedark3300,
    Is there anyway that you can test the keyboard on another computer?  At this point we don't know if the keyboard still works or not.  You said that there no lights on this at all - not even for the shift caps lock, NumLock, and stop scroll?  There should be some kind of lights on the receiver of these functions and if those who do not work, then, the keyboard is probably defective.

    Here is a link to an article that has some good troubleshooting steps to wireless keyboards, including how do to re - sync with computer.

I know that there are related software, because if I boot a backup drive, they work again. The most obvious thing I did lately, it's remove the feature optional windows Hyper-V. Is there an obvious way to reactivate the buttons?
