Solved Issues with Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 8000 desktop set **Very common**

Hello, I am new 2 the forums, (hello everyone), and I wanted 2 pass along a fix for the, "Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 8000 desktop set", that I know is very common, and as far as I know has not been fixed by Microsoft.

**Also if this is in the wrong section can someone please move it 2 the right 1, thanx**



Issues:

• Cold Booting into Bios.
• Cold booting into safe mode.
• Keyboard and mouse response issues.
• etc.

I originally had these exact issues with my 8000 desktop set, and I actually found the solution on this sites, "Vista news groups", but since the news groups have been archived I thought I would make a new post here, because I know many owners of this desktop set who set suffer from similar issues.

I do not want to take credit for the solution, so I will post the original comment that helped solve my, (these), issues with this desktop set.

If there no fix, this 5 day trial with a return.

I've had a similar problem with my Shuttle PC and Microsoft Wireless Entertainment 8000 keyboard. After I removed the bluetooth dongle from the charging dock and plugged into a USB port of the computer instead; the problem with booting has disappeared. Try the same thing on your computer and it may resolve your issue too.


So, as I said the J. Burt solution fixed my issues instantly, and I think anyone with this desktop set, or the individual parts, should try this solution 1st before anything else as it absolutely works.

Hello PARANOID365 and welcome to the forums

Thank you for sharing this with us, I had not previously come across this issue but if I ever do, I'll know what to do
