by Guest FifthE1ement- 0 replies
- 148 views
Support: I have installed Windows Service Pack 3 version 3311 and I am having some issues with the power management functions. Mainly the issue is with XP not saving the status of the Power Management option "Turn off monitor" within the "Power Schemes" tab.

- 233 views
I have Windows XP and I had a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 that I purchased around August 2010. All of a sudden, about 3 days ago, I started having a problem with the arrow keys. Every time I pressed any of the arrow keys and held it down to go quicker, a little trail of cursor blinks was created. I would type a word, then arrow left to correct a wrongly typed letter and not be able to see the word clearly because of the trail of cursor blinks. But once I fixed the error in the word and then continued typing, the trail of cursor marks would disappear. I tried the following: 1. Plugging the keyboard into a different USB port, twice. 2.
