Hello, I am new 2 the forums, (hello everyone), and I wanted 2 pass along a fix for the, "Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 8000 desktop set", that I know is very common, and as far as I know has not been fixed by Microsoft. :)

**Also if this is in the wrong section can someone please move it 2 the right 1, thanx**



Issues:
  • Cold Booting into Bios.
  • Cold booting into safe mode.
  • Keyboard and mouse response issues.
  • etc.
I originally had these exact issues with my 8000 desktop set, and I actually found the solution on this sites, "Vista news groups", but since the news groups have been archived I thought I would make a new post here, because I know many owners of this desktop set who set suffer from similar issues.

I do not want to take credit for the solution, so I will post the original comment that helped solve my, (these), issues with this desktop set.

If there no fix, this 5 day trial with a return.

I've had a similar problem with my Shuttle PC and Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 8000 keyboard. After I removed the bluetooth dongle from the charging dock and plugged into a USB port of the computer instead; the problem with booting has disappeared. Try the same thing on your computer and it may resolve your issue too.


So, as I said the J. Burt solution fixed my issues instantly, and I think anyone with this desktop set, or the individual parts, should try this solution 1st before anything else as it absolutely works. :)
