I have just reassembled my computer (2year old PC RUNNING windows xp) on a new desk and now I cannot get past the log on page as the mouse and key board will not work.
(MICROSOFT wireless optical desktop receiver 3.0A; mouse 2.0A & keyboard 1.0A)
2 weird things!
1)the gear works fine on my laptop &
2)if I hit 'delete' on start up it will get me into setup mode.
Don't have a clue where to go from there.
I have searched high and low and cannot find the original instructions. (All else has failed) or a CD.
Any help greatly appreciated.
                                             Thanks Jazman.What is the exact model of the set? You most likely need to download the drivers.Thanks for the reply. The model of the set is as stated.
I have looked for a downloadable manual on the net without success, though the model comes up often enough for sale.
Problem is very 'catch 22' as I cannot get past the log on page on start up , other than hitting 'delete' and going into setup. If it was drivers, why are they not there now when they were before (1 day before) and how do I get them into the computer when it wont work at all?
I assume the necessary drivers are on my laptop which I am using now. I have a flash-drive. Is there any way of saving them to it and getting them into my desktop via the setup pages?; or am I best to just take the whole kit and CABOODLE to a repair shop?
Has anyone else ever had this problem and how did you resolve it?
                                 Cheers   Jazman.Microsoft sets have a model number (ex. Microsoft Wireless Desktop 1000). It can be found on the bottom of the keyboard or mouse (see pictures). They usually recommend you install the drivers before plugging the keyboard and mouse in, which means you'll need another keyboard and mouse to use to do this.

This page contains drivers for Microsoft keyboards/mouse sets:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/Download.mspx

Alternatively, you may also download the individual drivers for each from the same page. Select Mouse, Keyboard, or Desktop Set from the "Select type of product" menu.

You could copy them to a flash drive, but you'll need at least a working mouse to install them.
