RE: wireless desktop problems

I have the same wireless desktop combo set and am glad/mad that someone else
has an issue - at least it's not just me. Have you downloaded the most
recent Intellipoint/Intellitype software? Go to microsoft's hardware site to
get it: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/wi...a/support.mspx

The thing is, for this particular set, you need to get both Intellipoint 6.1
AND Intellitype 6.1 (be sure to uninstall previous versions first).

But, don't get your hopes up. My keyboard and mouse still just lose the
connection without warning, sometimes locks up vista, and all the time Vista
will not shut down - I have to do a forced power down. Luckily, I am on a
laptop and the touchpad/keyboard still work when this happens. I think this
is a compatibility/driver issue with Vista. The set works fine on my XP
system.

Hope I will find something that works.
