Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v2.0 features do not work

[akhtar]

I have got a Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v2.0 and also a mouse as well. Sometimes the special button of this set dont work properly like for say, the 2 volume control buttons wont control the volume at some given time. Actually the whole series of buttons and the ones to the left of the keyboard stopped working. So, to make them work again, I usually delete the driver and then restart the computer and they start to work again but after sometime, I again face the same issue. So, is there any fix for this problem?

Have you installed Windows Vista on your pc? If so, then download the vista version of the keyboard from the microsoft website and also make sure that you have downloaded the latest drivers. I even had same kind of problems, but eventually installing the latest drivers fixed my issue.

Thanks for the reply but I am running Windows XP on my computer I think that I should have mentioned it earlier. Anyways, is there any other suggestions?

Did you try to go into the Keyboard Options in Control Panel and then checked the IntelliType software, see the options as far as the button functions go? You should also try to download and install the latest version of the IntelliType software that is available on the microsoft website for free of cost.
