Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / October 2006NEW CORDLESS KEYBOARD DOESN'T WORK
I have windows xp, gateway computer. I just bought a new gateway cordless keyboard. I downloaded the software, but now the typing keys will work, but the buttons on the side of the keyboard like cut, paste, calculator, etc won't work. I have tried reinstalling and still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks. Have you contacted Gateway?

I just wrote to say just the calculator hot key didn't work, none of the other ones do either except the cut copy and paste. Seems like something is just not calibrated or set up right. Thanks for your help. Gateway didn't know diddly squat!!!! > How do I do that??? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> You may have to go into Control Panel>Keyboards and configure those keys >> manually. Start, control panel switch to classic view. Double click on keyboard, click on key settings tab. Check to see that they are properly configured, if they are then you may need to choose to browse to a file to choose the program to open. But first, go to the wireless receiver and there should be a button on it. Push that. If still no joy, on the underside of the keyboard you'll find a connect channel button. Push that in with a pin or pen tip. The keyboard should have come with directions that explains channel selecting if things don't work properly. > How do I do that??? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> You may have to go into Control Panel>Keyboards and configure those keys >> manually. There is no key settings tab under keyboard. But the cut, copy and paste work, but non of the calculator, go forward, go back, refresh, etc work? I have pushed the connect buttons, but that didn't help. Any more ideas? Thanks. > Start, control panel switch to classic view. Double click on keyboard, > click on key settings tab.

Would it make any difference that I have a logitech cordless mouse and am not using the gateway cordless mouse? I don't like the feel of the gateway. But this wouldn't really account for why some of the buttons work and others don't, would it? > Start, control panel switch to classic view. Double click on keyboard, > click on key settings tab.

It could be a conflict between the two receivers. Locate the gateway manual or perhaps some directions that came on the CD with the new keyboard and see if there is any hint there. Most likely you need to change channels on one or both or better yet, get a compatible logitech keyboard to go with the mouse so you only have to use one receiver. > Would it make any difference that I have a logitech cordless mouse and am > not using the gateway cordless mouse?

Okay, this is interesting - after just reinstallingn items I got the cut, copy and paste keys to work, but the calculator key won't. Any ideas why this is??? >> I have windows xp, gateway computer.
