Problems with cordless keyboard/mouse combo

[DanFriday]

I just got this Logitech LX310 combo and nothing but problems from the start. Windows constantly freezing, high CPU usage, and not responding. I downloaded the updated software and no improvements. Any ideas what to do besides putting my recliner back in the living room and plugging in wired keyboard and mouse?

Dan Friday,
I searched the Hardware Qualified List for your model and your model was not included. This a list of hardware that has received the Windows 7 Compatibility Logo.

The following URL is only reachable with Internet Explorer:

Thanks. It's going back to the store.
Any suggestions for a decent wireless keyboard/ mouse combo?

I'm using this one with no problems at all, Got it from Ebay cheaper than the listed price.
Cordless Desktop® Wave?

Derekimo,
That same HCL did list another Logitech Combo which was logo qualified. You might want to go to that site, using Internet Explorer, and do a search specifiying Logitech as the Company.

I'm wondering how access to the HCL is going to play out in the European Common Market where one can choose not to have IE installed but rather to use another browser. This is not the only Microsoft site that does not function properly unless you are using Internet Explorer.

I am using IE, I'm not sure about anything in EU?
You can always check this site,

I couldn't find that one but did find this at Radio Shack .
Logitech® MK300 Wireless Desktop® - RadioShack.com
So far it's working okay and it's Windows compatible too.
Not bad for $39 I guess.
Thanks for the help !

Hey if it works for you that's all that matters, You're Welcome.

Glad you got it up and running.

Glad you got it up and running.

Thanks. The only thing I noticed so far is that my CPU % is around 25% now. It was always around 2% before I installed it. Is that normal?

 

[derekimo]

What does it say in Task Manager, mine isn't using any CPU.

What does it say in Task Manager, mine isn't using any CPU.

Mine isn't either according to Task Manager, but it does show 25% or more on cpu meter.
When I switch back to wired keyboard/ mouse, everythings back to normal. Seems like the same problems as with the first setup I bought.
See anything here I can get rid of ?:

Not really my area of expertice but it doesn't look like any of that is using much anyway.
Is yours plugged in to a USB or a ps2 port? I don't know if that makes a difference, I was just wondering.

I just noticed firefox using 29 on that screenshot, are you sure thats not your usage?

Plugged into USB. I'm not sure about Firefox but i just ran a malware scan and got this:

It seems a little better now. I guess I'll wait and see. Thanks for your help !
