Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 media keys stopped working...

[Shadrack]

Hi!

 

When I first installed iDeneb 1.3, all of my media keys on my Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 worked. The ones I remember specifically working:

* Volume up/down, and mute

* Pause/play, stop, prev, next

* Sleep

 

At some point all of these keys stopped working and I'm not sure why. Any ideas on how to get them working again? Downloaded and installed that "Microsoft Keyboard Layouts.dmg" from Microsoft's website, but I cannot find where it was installed to exactly... nothing shows up in preferences or applications. Hmmm... Microsoft's website does not have specific keyboard drivers/software on this keyboard model for Mac OS X.

 

Any help to get these keys working again would be greatly appreciated.

 

The keys may have stopped working upon installing the Mac OS X driver for my Microsoft Laser Mouse 5000; but I don't know for sure.

 

Thanks!

Turns out, the microsoft download page doesn't have a "Mac OS X" driver listed under the "Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000", but does under the "Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard" which works quite well.

 

The only thing is, use to I could hit sleep and the system went immediatly to sleep. Now when I hit sleep, I'm prompted with options to shut off power, restart, and sleep. Is there anyway to set it up to just sleep? There are no options for this in the Microsoft Keyboard Preferences dialog.

 

Also, is there a way to wake form sleep by pressing a key or moving the mouse, like in Windows? I have to press the power button to return from sleep in Mac OS X.

 

I know, I know... i have small problems in life if those are my problems. lol.
