Keyboard problems

My wireless Logitech keyboard is not functioning properly in Windows. While
on my Windows XP desktop my mouse will highlight more than one program and
open multiple programs. When typing my "functions" are backward. To type
caps I need to turn the caps lock off and to type lower case letters I need
to turn caps lock on. For numbers if I try to type a 5 a % sign will type,
that is whatever character is above the number will type. I am unable to
type numbers. I had this issue once before but can not recall the solution,
or where I found it.

Try a different keyboard. If it works, replace your Logitech keyboard.
If it does not work, post again.

Re: Keyboard problems

Got to be a driver issue.

I remember that happening to me. Just the mouse part.
I don't know if you are using the drivers that came with Logitech.
I think you can just remove the Logitech driver and use the standard windows drivers.
Either that, or upgrade the driver.

If a Shift key was stuck down, it would have that effect on Numlock,
Number keys, etc. The Shift key along with mouse movement would cause
all icons between the previously selected and the last selected to be
highlighted. So if not a stuck Shift key, a driver issue with a similar
result.
