USB Keyboard issue
I'm trying to troubleshoot a keyboard issue with little success and need
some help if possible. I've purchased a new Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard that is USB 2.0. My system is a fairly new computer with a clean XP Home Edition with SP2 and all updates. No issues at all with either XP, the system, or the prior PS/2 keyboard. I've tried using the new Microsoft USB keyboard several times with the same result. There is no software supplied with the keyboard. Its upposed to be completely plug and play. Installation process was as follows; Starting with the system shut down, I installed to the USB port and booted the system. XP recognizes the board and installs it normally with the driver for it in the XP data base. Device manager check reveals the proper HID and USB entries all there and intact. The issue occurs when coming out of standby. The system recovers from standby, but the keyboard does not. The mouse functions and everything else loads normally out of standby. Just the keyboard doesn't load and work. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? One suggestion I've gotten is to go into CMOS and change the legacy setting to "enable". This setting is now on "auto". Since my system is fairly new, I'm not sure how this Legacy setting affects the keyboard or even if I should change it from "auto". Can someone possibly shed some light on this. I have switched back to a PS/2 port keyboard and everything is fine coming out of standby. If someone has some idea of what might be causing this issue, I'd really appreciate being able to solve it. I like the USB board and would like to be able to use it. Thank you very much Dudley Henriques |

Yes. The ports seem to all be ok and switching dosen't change the symptoms.

There certainly are drivers/software for the Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard. Go
to the Microsoft website and obtain what you couldn't find in your package. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/default.mspx -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

USB Keyboard issue
Thank you very much for your response.
The 2000 is sold by MS without software for some reason., The intellipont 5.x software available for the board that you are referring to is not a necessary driver but rather additional software that interface the hot keys into several browsers. This software is completely optional and should not affect the basic operation of the keyboard. Actually, when the board is recognized by windows, it installs the driver by name. I don't think this issue is related to not having the optional software installed. I could be wrong. Do you have information I don't have by chance? :-) DH "Richard Urban" wrote in message ...

Richard;
I downloaded and installed the software anyway as per your advice. It appears there IS an updated driver for the board included with it. I have reinstalled the board and will post if anything develops. Again, thank you for taking the time, and perhaps the updated driver will cure the issue. Dudley "Richard Urban" wrote in message ...
