Keyboard errors, stops responding, acting weird Logitech Optical Cordless
It's back...
About a year ago my keybord went crazy, had to format my main drive to solve the problem then. Well, now its back, and i've tried different solutions in order to fix it, nothing seems to work. Reformated my main harddrive again, it worked only for about a week.
Keyboard is acting weird, it stops responding, my F-keys are messed up (example: my webcam-key starts Windows Media Player). Seems like its living its own life.
So now I have (not in this order);
- updated the drivers
- downloaded the latest sw for iTouch
- formated my main harddrive
- changed batteries, tried different brands
- uninstalled Norton AV and Zonelab Firewall
- done all the microsoft-updates
- searched the drives with Av, Adware and Spybot
- and more...¨
Sometimes it says Keyboard Failure on windows loadup.
Havent spilt anything on the keyboard neither.
Service-tag; 6J1QP0J
Operating system; XP Home (SP1)
Anyone in here that might be able to help me??

If the system works fine with another keyboard and mouse connected, the wireless combo itself may be the problem, and may need to be replaced.
When you last reformatted the drive, when was the exact point that the keyboard and mouse began experiencing problems again? Was it after the installation of any particular software and/or Microsoft Windows Updates?

Hi there, thank you for responding
Right now im using a really old keyboard, Dell Quietkey(...not that quiet...)
It works fine, alongside the very same cordless mouse that pairs up with the Logitech Cordless keyboard. Works fine with an old not-optical mouse. So it might be time to replace the cordless keyboard. But whats eating me is the fact that this has happend before (a year ago), just to work fine and the suddenly start to act weird again.
Well, after I reformatted it took a few days before it happend again. There where no hardware or/and software installation the last two days before it happend after the reformat.
So what do you think I should do? Get it replaced? Thats my thought, cause i've tried everything, spent hours upon hours searching for fixes and reading posts at forums.
