Re: USB Keyboard issue

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.

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.

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
