  1. At random times, my keyboard and mouse will change functions.


    Hi,I am having this weird issue and I am not sure why this does this. I would be playing a game and all of a sudden my hotkeys will not work. I would press different buttons and it would have either no effect or does something completely random. I try to pull up a menu, it either does nothing F10, or pulls up the Windows menu. On the internet, I click on a link, and it produces a second tab. This has been happening for years now. I am sick of this. Everything I do, it does not remedy the issue. The only thing that stops it is restarting the computer. Thank God I am not in school or use

    :)

    Hi Chrystal,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your keyboard and mouse, we would like to know the following:

    • Are you using a wired or wireless keyboard and mouse?
    • Have you tried using a different keyboard and mouse? If yes, how was it?
    • Have you tried using your keyboard and mouse to another computer? If yes, what is the result?

    Keyboards - Change of Function

    I just went into control panel and keyboards, it says I have 4 setting. I deleted all except the ps2 and rebooted, it put the others back in HID Keyboards, I only have the one attached. I decided to do a screen dump of the PS2 keyboard drivers and noticed something: what the hell is ESET.
