• USB keyboard does not

  I have a keyboard USB (Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1) that no longer works. The mouse works well, however. The keyboard used to work properly, but only can be done. the keyboard works on another computer in Windows Vista and XP machine, so I know the hardware is ok. I am currently connected through a KVM switch, but it does not work when I connect directly to my laptop.

  It is not listed as a keyboard when it is connected but the mouse appears as expected. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the HID devices associated with the keyboard and mouse, including reboots, nothing helps. The driver seems to install ok (know, there are no unknown devices in Device Manager)
  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

• USB keyboard does not work after Windows 7 SP1

  I recently installed SP1 on my computer running Windows 7 Pro.  Everything was fine before SP1, but after installation, the keyboard is constantly up - does not not intermittently.  I noticed that SP1 seems to have updated kbdclass.sys so I wonder if that caused.

  The USB keyboard is inadmissible for up to 30 seconds when you try to connect to my PC locked.  Also, once connected, the USB port sometimes emits a sound like something to be connected or disconnected.  Meanwhile, the keyboard is again irreceivable.

  It's to the point where I think of getting a new computer.  I tried to uninstall the drivers USB, reboot and let the computer to reinstall.  I also ran MalwareBytes and Anti-Rootkit, looking for malware.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.  It has no other USB connected to my machine except the keyboard and mouse.

  Thank you

• Dimension E521, windows resume loader, USB keyboard does not?

  I have a Dimension E521. When it starts up (windows 7 32 bit) happens to "resume the windows loader. I can't choose option I have a USB keyboard that does not start. Why is there no PS/2 port on the back of my office?

  Have you had a power failure or not stop correctly?

  Have you tried another USB port at the back of the Tower?

  Try to restart, and then press F2 before Windows starts to load to open the BIOS Setup. Search all the USB settings and make sure that they are all enabled. Save the changes before you exit the installer and see if you can deal with the problem of charger now.

  If this does not work, try this:

  1. If you can enter the BIOS setup by pressing F2, copy all the current BIOS settings
  2. Power off, unplug
  3. Power button press / hold for about 15 seconds
  4. Open the case and remove the motherboard battery
  5. Power button press / hold for about 30 seconds
  6. Replace the battery (use a new if it is old)
  7. Case of close and reboot and see if you can solve the problem of charger now

• Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work but the Num and caps lock shift are on

  I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I came home from work and he turned, the keyboard does not work and therefore can not enter my login information.
  The Num and caps lock shift are turned on.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hello

  You are able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
  You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 by turning on the device?

  If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
  If the USB keyboard would be functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

• Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

  Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x

  Now, it's a boring, which several other users have reported under different threads. Because I couldn't find a post with quite similar symptoms, I made my own topic.

  I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 x on an old one (Intel Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 524 GB HDD - in case, for reasons unknown to me, someone needs to know it...) , DellXPS system. Not more than a few weeks ago my home button keyboard unresponsive on this system.

  I did a lot of troubleshooting, but these measures have been carried out:
  * Tested keyboard on the other system, touch ESC WORKS on the other system
  * Reinstalled keyboard and USB drivers on the XPS system, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
  * Connected to a never-before-used USB keyboard, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
  * Opened and cleaned the keyboard, tested, Escape key WORKS, Don't DO NOT WORK on the XPS system
  * Tested in various applications: Desktop (Esc will close the start menu), Photoshop, Vegas, Notepad, games full screen OpenGL,Escape key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
  * Google for possible solutions, none found...

  Note: Highlights show where the ESC key does not work. I am troubled by the XPS system.

  In case you missed it my list of troubleshooting steps, the ESC key works on another computer of Windows 7 system.

  I have to still garble my self through the registry in the hope that someone might have an idea of the steps to follow before I lose a day to see the things that I honestly know squat. Please help if you can; What could be the issue/common application that separates this key in the Windows world and how could I solve this problem?

  Thank you in advance!

  For reference,.
  No major changes have been made since the keyboard unresponsive with the exception of:
  Updates to FireFox (including modules Ad-Block Plus, NoScript, which have also been updated).
  Windows Update
  A 10.x MB World of Warcraft patch/update on a keyboard AFTER week unresponsive

  Already installed the patches StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which none touched my keyboard to my knowledge. I finished almost all of StarCraft II and had no problems...

  I know it's a bit old, but I was living the question myself.  Thought I had found the problem and it was fixed but then it happened again.  Came to find out (by closing a program and test the ESC key) it's because Photoshop.

  With the help of Photoshop, which could match the case you mention.  Not only that but I did a search ('ESC' does not not Photoshop) and stumbled on some answers/solutions workaround for it.  One is to use SHIFT + ESC ESC does not work.

  Hope this helps someone.  I fell it using my original research ("Windows 7" BSE "ESC" keyboard does not) and know that others are likely to see.  If you have not already learn the cause, in the year + since your original message, then voila.
