Re: Weird PC problem

[Tom Jedrzejewicz <tomjedrz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't like wireless keyboards .. they strike me as a needless
complication. Batteries are expensive (and toxic!), the support effort
is probably 8 or 10  times the support for a wired keyboard, and the
need is illusory most of the time.  I have shied away from deploying
them. When you consider your time, the "convenience" of the wireless
device has become very expensive!

John's suggestion (the keyboard language) is the most likely fix. But
you could use the opportunity to deploy a different wired keyboard!
