Hi, Tim.

Thanks for the additional details. But we still don't know what you mean by
"not working".

For example, MY Microsoft Wireless Laser 6000 Desktop Set, with the 6000
v.2.0 mouse and 6000 v.3.0 keyboard are working, but the keyboard is not
working right because it often goes to sleep right in the middle of a word
that I'm typing.

Does your mouse refuse to scroll? Does your keyboard insist on ALL CAPS?
What do they do wrong?

With or without an MCP tag, you should be able to tell us HOW yours is "not
working". So far, we haven't a clue.
