Microsoft Keyboard / Mouse Pairing
Hello,
I broke my receiver for my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 5000 (& Mouse Combo). I ordered a receiver on eBay, but it does not work. Through extensive research it appears to be that even though it's the same model, it may be running on a different frequency. Does anyone know of a program to REPROGRAM the receiver so I can connect my trusty Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse?

Yes, I have tried the syncing method Shaun, but to no avail. I don't know how they have it set up to sync. I took the receiver to my friend's house, where he has the same v 7.0 receiver, and we could not get his keyboard and mouse to sync with the receiver that I got. I may just have to give up...
