15. Check the batteries...mine's wireless and a new set fixed it...

I got in the habit of changing both at the same time, plus making sure the thingy they need to work is in a decent proximity.

[CJCRANE]

17. Thanks...seems to have done the trick.

I thought maybe some virus had "zapped" my PC, but the prob turns out to be somewhat lower tech than that!

Ok, try again. So far so good. Fingers crossed. Looks like I have to shake the keyboard when it starts plAying up. May have to shake it every two minutes!

[alfredo]

14. There must be some big chunks in there.

[cynatnite]

16. I have one of those keyboards I can take apart and wash in the sink...

I also use that canned air stuff. Works pretty good, too.

[CJCRANE]

12. Thanks alfredo !

I think I maybe able to once again hold my head high in the online world
(just vacuumed my keyboard as well for good measure, think it was probably crumbs under the keys - I have a habit of eating muffins whilst I'm DUing).

:)

13. It's amazing how much crap collects in there.

My keyboard has had coke, tea, coffee, Cocketeil poop, and much of the food pyramid dropped in it.

I have hosed it down a half dozen times, dried it off and plugged it back in. Works like a charm.

OH, yeah, don't shake out the keyboard over your lap, especially if you are wearing dark clothes. ;)
