    This bug has been driving me mad since late 2007. Whenever you press the caps lock button the BT keyboard in XP, the whole keyboard goes nuts and no keys work for about a minute. Seems crazy this hasn't been fixed. A buddy of mine with an iMac has the same problem with his BT keyboard, so it reminded me to come post on here. Any way around this bug? Rather a bother I must say!

    Thanks for that. Bit of a shame caps lock doesn't work, but thanks for that pseudo-fix. :)

    FYI, for those that have the Apple BT keyboard, Apple released a fix this week. Do a software update! Now caps lock works as it should, finally! :)
