Keyboard has gone psycho

Hey, I have a logitech mx3000 keyboard, and I just recently installed and fully updated vista and all the drivers for my keyboard. My keyboard has since gone psycho. At first, it would randomly put spaces into the middle of words as I typed. I kept reconnecting the keyboard, and finally that stopped. NOW, if I type fast at all, or hit two keys in rapid succession, it randomly puts the letters "fin", the letter "f", "fi", or "fn" into my text. I have had to type this paragraph very slowly to keep it from happening.

Example: If I type "qwer" (only using that as example because I can hit the keys really fast in a row), it comes out as "qwefinrn" - The only keys I hit were "q" "w" "e" and "r", in that order and reafinlly fast.

I have NO clue what is up...never heard of anything like this before...

Keyboard worked fine with XP...only now is it acting up.

Well, i installed the vista drivers for the keyboard/mouse directly. I didn't upgrade from older drivers. I guess I could try the xp drivers....

the xp drivers should allow yo to still use your keyboard the only issues you8 might have is extra command buttons like eject, volumne and such

Completely uninstall the Logitech drivers and use the Windows default keyboard driver. If this fixes it, the Vista drivers are no good. If not, the keyboard may be defective, try a different keyboard.
