Logitech Receiver not working
Hello all, I feel a bit sheepish coming here with such a common "novice" issue however, it seems it is a fairly extensive, less user-error oriented problem than I was hoping for.
I have 5 logitech devices I am trying to connect to my machine. (Well, actually only 3 but 2 kb/mouse combos) and, I have had this setup before, many times however cannot get it to work.
The receiver that came with my Logitech 650 deluxe keyboard just WILL NOT work in Windows. I can use my keyboard in the BIOS, I can use it on my iBook, I can even use it on another windows 7 Pro x64 machine but it just won't work with the machine I am stuck using primarily.
The Devices I have are:
2 Logitech wireless Keyboards
-650 Deluxe
-EX110
2 Logitech wireless mice
1 Logitech M510 w/ unifying receiver
1 Logitech C-BT44 Receiver (came with 650 deluxe)
1 Logitech receiver unknown (had to fix this bad boy...previous owner cut the cord to deter others from using it)
The unknown receiver works with either keyboard/mouse (not the m510 obviously) which, seeings as they all share the same frequency (RF 2.4GHz) is obviouse why they work together. BUT, NONE of the keyboards work on my primary box with the C-BT44 receiver within windows. Again, I can use that receiver in the BIOS, Both normal lights are on (F and Num lock) along with my 650 deluxe but, it just doesn't work in windows. It USED to work in windows. I originally had one keyboard on my desk (650) and the other (connected to the unknown receiver) keyboard (110) on my coffee table half-way across the room. This worked wonderfully. Well, not anymore. Obviously I can't have both keyboards connected to the same receiver as they are apparently made to only work with one keyboard and mouse at the same time so, I am stuck with just the one working keyboard on the less desirable receiver.
My thoughts are, is there a way to uninstall/remove all the PnP USB device history/drivers so that windows will automagically find/install the drivers on next boot? I know there was a sweet little app that did exactly that (among many other things) for XP but those days are past. The receiver that is NOT working in windows works perfectly wither in the BIOS or on other machines, just not the one I currently have to use...
Any insight would be great!! I almost traced the issue back to when I installed the M510 mouse/drivers/unifying software but only almost.
Thanks all! Hopefully we have some ideas here.
