Keyboard intermittent I purchased an E-machine a year ago. Sometimes the keyboard would quit working until a re-boot was done. I bought a wireless keyboard and using the same ps2 port, I am still having the same problem. Any advice? Thanks.

Any cordless phones in the vicinity? Have you noticed the keyboard stopping after receiving a phone call? Try placing the phone away from your work area. Usually, most wireless keyboard/mouse packages will come with a ps2 to usb adapter. Try using it and see what happens. I would also change the batteries. Does the keyboard start working again after hitting the connect buttons (bottom of keyboard & on the transmitter/receiver??)

There might be a problem with the keyboards PS2 port. You can bypass the PS2 port all together by buying a PS2 Y-adapter to usb port. This Y adapter will allow you to plug your PS2 mouse & keyboard into it and than you plug the other end into a free usb port. You do not have to plug the PS2 mouse in if you do not want to. Just plug in the keyboard. If your keyboard functions than there is a prolem with the keyboard's PS2 port. The PS2 Y-adapter to USB runs about $12.00 to $15.00. You can find one at Wallmart.
