The reason that works is that the cable is broken - get a new mouse!

Does anyone know why my keyboard stops responding
periodically? It usually happens when I'm using Internet
Explorer. Once it happens the only thing I can do is
reboot, after which the keyboard functions again. It's a
real annoyance. If anyone knows why this problem occurs
and how to fix it, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi: I had the same problem (very frustrating) Someone
told me to jiggle or unplug the mouse at the entrance
outlet. I do this and for some silly reason it works.
