Consider it a feature of Microsoft. I get the same thing but not often
enough to worry about, one click gets rid of it. Probably rf interference
even nothing else is close.

I have the MS Wireless Keyboard 2000 & Optical Mouse 2000 combo, Windows XP
Professional. Using the latest IntelliType and IntelliPoint software for
32-bit Windows XP.

Periodically the system pops up a message about low quality signal to the
receiver from the keyboard; However when I check the hardware properties
(Mouse & Keyboard applets in Control Panel) and check the "Wireless" tab,
it indicates "High" signal quality and "good" battery level for both the
mouse and the keyboard.

Anyone else experienced this issue (reporting of "low quality" signal")
with MS or other wireless devices when the device is working perfectly OK?
All this message does is ask if I want to run the troubleshooting wizard,I
don't know how accurate the monitoring software is (as far as signal
strength and battery level is concerned) but I would have thought it would
be fairly reliable and accurate.

The receiver is sitting about half a foot from the keyboard, in direct
line of site, and there's no other devices that could interfere with the
signal (I currently have "wired" broadband). The other wireless device is
the cordless phone, but I don't know if that really is having any affect
in this case.

Thanks,

Andrew.
