Hi,

I'm having a problem with Vista and my keyboard. My wireless
keyboard / mouse combo is a ps2 keyboard and a usb mouse. When I plug
the keyboard in, if I type an “A” I actually get a “U”.

I tried another ps2 keyboard, and it’s the same thing. I plugged in a
USB keyboard and it works fine. I have changed the language settings
so that they are US English thinking that might be the problem buts it
didn't change anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shan

Make sure that you connect and disconnect PS/2 devices with the computer
powered off.

Do you have another computer with a PS/2 port so you can test the
problematical device?

yeah the device works properly in other systems, it just seems to be
this one with Vista and it is only that one key. All the other keys
are fine.

I'm wondering if the port has a problem.
 
Re: Vista Ultimate and PS2 Keyboard problem

Are the "other systems" vista computers also? Did you install the latest
driver for your wireless keyboard ?
