I have Media Centre installed on a shuttle box here, problem started a few
months back when the keyboard spacebar has stopped working. Easy I said and
swapped out the keyboard with another USB model - SAME problem.
Ok so then I tried a PS2 keyboard in its usual port and same problem with
that. I checked all three keyboards on another XP machine and they worked
fine.
Next I tried completely removing the drivers and reinstalling (Microsoft
standard PS/2 drivers) and still the same.
The ONLY way I could get the spacebar to work is by holding down the SHIFT
key first and then pressing the spacebar and then it would insert a space on
the page - this applies to all three keyboards.
So somewhere along the line this is a s/w problem or a more serious problem
with the hardware but it beats me as to what is causing it. I don`t have any
special keyboard software/ keymappers etc - just plain old Media Centre
2005.
What could be causing this?
