Hi,

I'm having quite a weird problem with the new wireless keyboard I just purchased. It's a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite, and the keyboard has a scroller on. However, when BOINC is running, the scroller on the keyboard no longer works (the mouse scroller is fine though), but when I close BOINC it works fine again, so there must be some conflict with the BOINC program. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know what might be causing it? I think the keyboard uses something called "Terminal Services" - does BOINC use this as well?


Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated!


Cheers,
Adi

BOINC issued news a bit ago sayng that there was an upgrade for some kind of keyboard/mouse from Microsoft and to upgrade the software so this should hopefully help your problem vanish

Thanks for your reply - the software is already at the latest version though, and the problem persists...
