Bluetooth Keyboard Error

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I've had the bluetooth optical mouse and keyboard working
fine for awhile now. A month or two ago I had to stop
using the keyboard because, even though it says its there
in the wireless dialog, i cant seem to use it ^o). I
think this is weird though, because the mouse works like
a charm.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried to remove the keyboard from the wireless link and
re-establish a link?

Yep. It says that its authenticated but then doesn't do anything if I press the buttons. I'm stumped as its doing it with two keyboards now!

Ok, it seems to be working now. I had to enable to services it was offering.

Next problem, if I take my ps/2 keyboard out and try and boot the computer, it tells me there's a problem with it. Any way to disable this?

Nice that you got it working.
Unfortunately you need the PS/2 keyboard connected for BIOS and startup as
the BT keyboard loads only after the OS loads.
You can leave it connected and not use it....simplest solution.
