Vista - Wireless Desktop 600 F keys not working properly

Hello,

I have a new Wireless Desktop 600 Keyboard and when I am using my autotext in Word F3 should finish the autotext but it is not working. When I click F3 after typing the beginning text it repeats what I have typed half the time, the other half it deletes.

Suggestions on fixing this issue? I use autotext DAILY and really would love to keep my new keyboard.

Check you keyboard to see if it has an F-lock button. This should be at the top with an F in a square or something. If you can't find it, check to see if the other F keys work in Word.

I have tried the F lock several times. No luck.

Thanks for the input!

This is a new keyboard correct?

Perhaps the key was changed with the keyboard. Check the settings to make sure that it is the same key and not a new one.

Also, make sure the drivers for the new keyboard are up to date. You could also try reinstalling the autotext program to make sure it works.

It appears my plug was not in fully. I was checking all the fittings and it was working for everything but for some reason wasn't reading the F-lock.

Thanks for the help. In the future I wont assume because everything else is working that my plug is in securely.

Yes that has been known to happen. Does it plug in though a PS/2 port or USB?

Interesting... PS/2 ports are notorious for being real loose. But USB is pretty secure...
