1] Use keyboard/mouse with a different computer

Use the keyboard or mouse with another computer. This way you will confirm whether the problem lies your keyboard and mouse or the PC. You may also connect another keyboard or mouse to your computer and see if that works.

2] Check the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connection

Check if your connections are working fine. Many times, the Bluetooth receiver of your keyboard and mouse stops working. It that happens, you won’t be able to use the peripherals with your PC.

3] Check the cable of cabled keyboard and mouse

If you are using a cabled keyboard or mouse, you need to check the wire correctly. You should also connect the cabled mouse/keyboard to another PC so as to identify if the fault lies with the keyboard/mouse or the PC. If you do not have another computer nearby and you have an OTG cable, you can also check using your smartphone. But, you may not be able to test old PS2 models with OTG cable.

4] Perform Clean Boot

Clean Boot is probably the easiest way to fix various driver or software related issues. Start in Clean Boot State and check if they are working or not – and then troubleshoot manually by trial and error method.

5] Check the Device Driver

If either the mouse or keyboard is not working, you may update your drivers and see if it helps. Although Bluetooth or Wi-Fi mouse and keyboard do not require any software to be installed in Windows 10, if you are using older models, they may need some 3rd–party software or driver to be installed. You can use the Device Manager for this purpose.

6] Run the Keyboard Troubleshooter

Open the Troubleshoot page in Windows 10 Settings and run the Keyboard Troubleshooter.

7] Disable Hybrid shutdown

See if disabling Fast Startup helps – as some have reported that this helped.

Open Control Panel and go to Power Options. Following that, click on Choose what the power buttons do and Change settings that are currently unavailable. Here remove the check-mark against Turn on fast startup. Save your change and exit.

If this does not help, remember to reverse the changes.

8] Check Bluetooth keyboard settings

Whenever you add a Bluetooth receiver to your PC or use the inbuilt Bluetooth functionality, it gets stored in the Devices and Printers section of Control Panel. So open it, right-click on the Bluetooth Keyboard option and select Properties. Switch to Services tab and make sure that Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc. (HID) is checked.

9] Check USB Hub

If you are using a USB Hub to connect all your external devices, you should check whether it is working correctly or not. Try plugging in another USB device or use the mouse or keyboard directly with your computer.

10] Disable Filter Keys

If you have enabled Filter Keys, disable it and check. Open Windows Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard. On your right-hand side, toggle Ignore or slow down brief or repeated keystrokes and adjust keyboard repeat rates under Filter Keys to the Off position and see.

11] Mouse Pointer lags

This post will help you if you Mouse Pointer lags or freezes while working or playing games.

I’ve been running Intuit’s Quicken for years: my current version is 2002 Deluxe. It runs fine under Windows 7, but I haven’t tried it under Windows 8, and wonder if it will work under Windows 10 and 10+? If it won’t run under Windows 10, what do I do?

Quicken 2002 does everything I want, and I don’t have any need to change to another product. I’m only 72 and hope to run it for many years more. Chris

If you use the same program for a decade or more, you get to know it well, and you will feel safe and secure. Unfortunately, this feeling may be illusory. You’re playing a very dangerous game. It’s not one I recommend.

There are several problems with running old software. The most obvious is the one that concerns you: it could eventually stop working. There is also a risk that unpatched security holes could leave you vulnerable to viruses. Worse, you may be at risk of losing access to your data. If you calculate the number of hours it would take you to re-enter up to 14 years of accounts, I suspect you will find that it would cost far more to replace your data than your PC and software.

Fortunately for you, both Windows and Quicken have tens of millions of users, which encourages Microsoft and Intuit to try to maintain compatibility over long periods. I suspect a lot of people are still running Quicken 2002, which was released in 2001. But not every software company cares about backwards compatibility, and many go bust.

In general, it’s reasonably safe to skip alternate versions of programs, so you’re never more than two behind. When companies release a new version every year then try not to fall more than four or five years behind. Quicken only supports programs for three years.

Will it run?

It seems you are in luck. According to the Windows compatibility centre on Microsoft’s website, four people out of five report that Quicken 2002 runs on Windows 8.1. However, the “action recommended” – which I agree with – is to upgrade to a new version.

Since Quicken 2002 runs on Windows 8.1, I would expect it to run on Windows 10. However, while Microsoft and millions of Windows 10 testers are no doubt checking that recent versions of Quicken run, I don’t expect any of them care whether compatibility stretches all the way back to 2001.

When Windows 10 is launched, you will be able to run a compatibility checker that will check your hardware and software. If you want, you can try running the current upgrade assistant for Windows 8.1.

Updating Quicken

Quicken Will Not Run

You can’t upgrade directly from a very old version of Quicken to a new version, but you can get there in two or more steps. For example, Intuit lets you upgrade from Quicken 2002 (and older versions) to Quicken 2004 and from there to Quicken 2013 (and, presumably, newer versions). Intuit says: “We provide you with a copy of 2004 and easy instructions here.”

Basically, this involves converting your old files to a new file format, and doing it twice. This is not a great position from the point of view of data security and reliability. As Intuit says: “you may experience some data file issues [and] we will be unable to help you.”

A two-step upgrade could easily become a three-step upgrade. If you’re on a really old version, for example, you have to go to Quicken 6 before you can upgrade to Quicken 2004.

How to hang on

If you have an old program that won’t run on a new version of your operating system, then there are at least three things that you can do.

First, you can hang on to the old PC, and keep it around just to run the old program. Companies often do this, although it’s very expensive in terms of maintenance. If the operating system is no longer supported with security patches – as is the case with Windows XP – then it’s best to disconnect it from the internet. (Rich companies can still pay Microsoft to support XP. It costs $400 per PC this year, $800 per PC next year, and keeps doubling every year. Good luck with that.)

Second, you can run the old operating system in a “virtual machine” (VM) on a new PC, though you may you need a gigabyte for each VM. Microsoft provided a free copy of Windows XP to run in Windows 7 Pro so that companies could upgrade while still running some programs under XP. Current Pro versions of Windows 8.1 include Hyper-V to host alternative operating systems. Otherwise, there are a few free VMs available, such as Oracle’s (formerly Sun’s) VirtualBox and Microsoft’s old Virtual PC.

Of course, you would need to source a copy of any earlier version of Windows that you wanted to run. You probably don’t have one, because the cheap versions of Windows sold by PC manufacturers are locked to the PC on which they ship.

Third, you can export your data and move to a different program or, in some cases, an online service. However, there are not many alternatives to Quicken, as UK users discovered when Intuit discontinued its UK version a decade ago. But there are Accountz and BankTree, as well as Sage One Accounts. There are also hundreds of templates for Microsoft Excel, including Arixcel.

It’s always a good idea to export data in a format that you can load into a different program. Remember Schofield’s first law of computing: you should never put data into a program unless you can see exactly how to get it out.
