I will try what you suggest and get back. I will need to know for certain
if
it is the motherboard to justify the cost of replacing it. (I might as
well
upgrade everything if that is the case.)

I have a very annoying problem with my wireless keyboard and mouse
deskset.
When I am typing the keystrokes are either missed or repeated. The
effect
is
completely random in occurance and random effect on the letters. When
playing games the effect is also evident. I had this problem with my
previous deskset so can eliminate the make of deskset. My current
deskset
is
the Microsoft Wireless deskset 700 v2.0.

I have tried uninstalling all the HID and associated devices in device
manager forcing new installation of all drivers (including the USB
drivers)
but the problem remains. I have tried new batteries and reconnecting
the
keyboard but to no avail. I have tried different USB ports but no joy.
The
receiver is about 10 inch away from the keyboard with nothing between
them.
I can not see any error in the event logs and there is no problems with
any
hardware.

I am at a loss as to why this is happening and I am wonderin if anyone
out
there has any solutions to this problem.

My system is a Athlon 64 3000+ with 1GB RAM, 256MB nVidia g-force
xf7300,
USB printer, scanner and joystick. 320GB Sata HDD in IDE mode. 1 x DVD
writer. 400W PSU.

Thanks in advance

Since you've had this problem with more than one desk set, maybe the
problem
lies with your motherboard. If you use a USB or PS/2 keyboard, does the
problem re-occur?
Try unplugging you other USB devices for a while and see if the problem
occurs. When's the last time you updated your motherboard drivers?
Interference can come from anywhere- it doesn't have to be between the
receiver and the keyboard. Is the receiver near a monitor, wireless hub,
UPS, anything like that?

As SC Tom said, the best thing to try is a wired USB keyboard.
If the problem persists, it could be a motherboard issue, possibly
a flakey keyboard buffer. You didn't say if there are problems
with the wireless mouse.

If the problem disappears with a wired keyboard, your wireless
system may be subjected to RF interference from another device
in the same frequency range. If you can borrow another sytem,
or a laptop, and use it with your wireless KB/mouse in the same
location, you could eliminate interference. You don't need to
install drivers on the borrowed sytem for this.
