Go to Microsoft/help/support.com and you should find a solution. Sounds like you don't have the right hardware or a bad software pack. Also make sure the computer recognizes it. Try another keyboard if you have access to one. You'll probably have to go to another computer to get instructions and print then out and maybe you can do it with a mouse if it works and another keyboard doesn't work. If you can get another keyboard to work and download the drivers for the 3000 make sure the 3000 is plugged into the computer when you download the driver for the 3000.. They do have downloads for the 3000 I just went and looked and the last keyboard I had was a 3000 and I downloaded files from Microsoft. Hope this cures your Microsoft headache; dhgill1949

Make sure there is nothing touching the trackpad on the laptop, as that will stop the mouse functioning correctly.

You could also try attaching the receiver to a different USB port on the laptop, to make sure it isnt a dead USB port.

Lastly, you could try downloading and re-installing the drivers from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258785

Everything ok with this keyboard except one thing. I can't manage the volume with the keyboard.

Are you trying the volume control at the media controls? See here.

Also check to see that your Operating system volume control is on and up.

Can't install Microsoft Wireless Desktop

you need to resync the mouse and keyboard to the wireless receiver. you hold the button down on the receiver until you see a flashing light and then you press the button on the bottom of the key board. then you do the same thing for the mouse.
