Keyboard
« on: September 23, 2006, 07:29:15 AM »
I need help!
I have a Dimension 8300. I installed a Logitech keyboard  for temporary use and then connected again the original (DELL) keyboard. Now I have many errors and I want to roll back to the DELL keyboard and driver. When I uninstall the Logitech driver the computer reinstalls it (it says: new hardware detected and reinstalls the Logitech Keyboard). So in the control panel I see over and over again the Logitech keyboard I wanted to get rid of.
What is the control-c to end this?
Thanks and Regards

Uninstall the Logitech software from the add/remove software menu, not the device manager menu.

Technology strikes again. I prefer PS/2 basic keyboards - no specific drivers, no hassles, etc., but that's just me.

The problem is that the Logitech software also controls the mouse. Now I have said to the software that I have the mouse ONLY and not the mouse and the keyboard. And when I run the program it only shows settings for the mouse.
Maybe the Logitec  software is bugged in that it does not allow to rollback one unit only. If that is so perhaps I should uninstall the software (and hence the mouse) and then install again. But suppose it does not work. More time  wasted and nerves strained.
I thought also to buy a different keyboard in the hope that installing it I get rid of the Logitech one.
It is unbelievable that they cater for the most exotic problems (like video keyboard) and cut off the most obvious ones.
The bottom line is that I am stalled
Thank you anyway

    Disconnect the Logitech keyboard. Plug in your PS/2 keyboard. Go into device manager and expand the keyboard entry. Select the keyboards properties and update driver. Choose your own driver from a list and choose standard 101/102 keyboard or MS natural keyboard. Windows give you some bull about the driver not being specifically written for your device. Install it anyway. You should be able to use the keyboard without problems.

    Be certain to uninstall the Logitech software otherwise it might just reinstall it self again.

      The OP didn't say, but it sounds like a wireless keyboard and mouse. The Logitech software will be needed to operate the mouse correctly. Disabling iTouch from loading should be all that is needed.
