My Kbd and Mouse are junk.
The kbd battery runs down in minutes sometimes even after overnight charge.
Sometimes it stays active for hours.
Junk!
The Mouse sits on the charger and sometimes has a red flashing light and
sometimes a blue light that pulses.
What's up with that.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is that with Windows Vista Ultimate the Keyboard and
Mouse go dead when a thumb drive in plugged in or out for up to several
minutes.
Also when Vista goes to sleep or whatever with the User Icon present the
mouse is totally dead while the disk is accessed for several minutes.
The keyboard is also dead so I cannot get in to see what is going on.
MS Spyware probably.
I have antivirus Avast, Spybot and Spywareblaster active but I will be it is
MS indexing that is chewing up my CPU usage.
All junk.
And Vista Ultimate and I am sure all other incarnations of Vista as well as
XP and also likely Windows 7 are all ergonomically junk.
Quit the glitz and focus on usability.
e.g. the mouse scroll is not related to the mouse click so when you move a
mouse over windows explorer left pane the scroll wheel should scroll that
pans and likewise with the right pane without clicking and losing that was
highlighted in the other pane.
You know, just like the people who correctly programmed Outlook to do it the
right way.
And MS support is dead. Spent hours on the phone and all they could do was
reinstall drivers that did nothing.
I reinstalled the USB and the 8000 drivers and software to no avail.
It is intrinsic in the Vista OS to be crap.
Bottom line, is there any way to make the 8000 set the highest USB or
service or whatever priority in this Vista crap OS?
Cross posted because I am cross and old and crotchety and am totally pissed!
