Serious Keyboard Problem

[wegreenall]

I am running x64 vista business on my brand new machine using a q6600 (g0), asus maximus formula, 2gb kingston hyperx RAM, and a 160gb SATA boot disk and a 500 gb IDE drive. Also, a 8800 gt.

I am able to run programs such as internet explorer or whatever, but any time i am in a program (including the search bar) as soon as i press any key on the keyboard the program hangs (with the serch bar it says Windows Explorer is not responding" on the Not Responding dialog box. I cannot use my computer until this is fixed, and i am in desperate need of help. i can't find anything about it online, can anyone help me?

Hi Wegreenall,

Welcome to the forum.

What type and model of keyboard are you using?

If it is not a standard keyboard, then you should try reinstalling the drivers for the keyboard.

Another alternative is to do a Repair Install. This will allow you to repair your Vista installation without loosing your files, settings, and programs.

Well i'm typing to you from my Vista pc! just installing maximus formula drivers atm, so hopefully (touchwood) that wasn't the cause and it's going to stay this way. If it doesn't, then damn and blast, I may have to xp this sucker.

I couldn't resintall the upgrade because when i tried of course the same problem happened. So, i went into safe mode, fomr where upgrade is unavailable, so i just did a clean install.

LOL, Well a clean install is usually the best fix for all.

Glad that you got your Vista computer up and running.

Greenie, ASUS has the fix for this problem. Download and install the newest version of AI Suite, 1.03.17.
I have Maximus and X64. Had the same problem for weeks. This fixed it!:D
