i'm having a weird problem with my computer that is driving me nuts and just giving me that pissed off feeling in my stomach that my computer isn't running flawlessly.

I just formatted my hard drive and installed a fresh copy of XPpro. The only problem that is of any consequence is my keyboard and mouse. There are certain things i can't do sometimes. I can't type a capital p, sometiems i can't write parentheses either. I have the logitech cordless desktop 700.

The first problem that i actually noticed was a lag in what i was doing while playing games.. i thought it was probably due to the KVM switch that I had been using to help restore my backed-up music files on a different computer, etc. I took it out and that problem went away. Could using the switch have messed something up with drivers somewhere? I've uninstalled drivers/software several times to no avail.. still the weird problems.

I've also tried connecting through USB instead of the ps/2 converter, no help.

Any ideas? thanks.
 
Well, have you tried using a different keyboard and mouse and see if you still have the problems? If you try a different keyboard and mouse and you don't have the problems anymore then there's something messed up about your set.

If you don't have another keyboard and mouse to try, you could always try that set directly connected to another pc and see if you still get the same problems. If you still get these problems on another machine, to me that says there's a problem with the keyboard and/or mouse, if not then there's something with the machine you do have the problems on.
 
thanks :)

as soon as i get home i'll try it out and see what i get. I'll post back after.
 
Well weird is the right word

I plugged in an old ps/2 keyboard and mouse and actually it wouldn't boot windows correctly.. it prompted me and i booted with 'last known good configuration' but then the mouse and keyboard wouldn't work at all. It was like it didn't detect anything.

Any other ideas? this is starting to piss me off with a capital p, which i would type but i can't.
 
Someone else had a KB issue like this. It was related to software, I think. I will try and find it.
