In this post, we give you an account of such issues and a few tips for circumventing them.

May Not Go Well with Vista

It would seem a bit ridiculous to know that the Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard may not get along that well with Windows Vista. After all, the device was engineered by Microsoft keeping in mind the environment of Vista. The company itself now gives a few warnings and advice about using the keyboard in Vista. As such, users should ensure that their operating systems are up-to-date. Moreover, installing the latest software updates that extend to the drivers for the keyboard would also help in avoiding any issues.

Moreover, do ensure that the wireless USB receiver is inserted fully into its designated port.
