It's a wireless HP keyboard and mouse set. It came with my HP Media Center Computer (the one I'm using right now). The wireless receiver is connected to the computer via USB. The problem is, All of a sudden, out of nowhere BF2142 stops. Not the whole game, but just stops moving forwards. I was turning to the right to land, but the accelleration stops, and I crash. I thought it was just lag, but It kept happening on different server and even offline. It's not just the "W" key either. Every time I move the mouse left and right, like I usually do, while pressing a button (any button, not just directional keys), the typing/signal just stops. I don't know if this is supposed to happen, but I don't think so, or else how would I play a lot of the games I usualy do. The keyboard has never had anything spilled on it, I just replaced the battery, it's within point blank range, nothing is in the way, and the USB is fully plugged in. This has never happened before. There are no drivers for the set

No, this happens outside of the game, too. I tested in notepad, to be sure.

Do you have florescent lighting near your computer?
Any other devices, Wireless Networking, that can interfere with the radio signal? Wireless Phone?
Known fact (but HP wont tell) that wireless keyboard and mice are susceptible to outside radio interference. It is next to impossible to use wireless keyboard and mouse in an industrial environment.

Did you say it still works OK with other software you run? If so, it HAS to be something incompatible with the new game software you are trying to run.
If you have problems with everything, do you have many other programs running in the background? For instance, I've found that if I leave Norton Anti-Virus running in the background that SOMETIMES it wants to go out and get updates right in the middle of my game. This either freezes my game or at times has even knocked me completely out of it and back into Windows.
Hope these ideas help.
Good luck.

Is there an additional service or prgram that is launching in the bakground that is perhaps causing the computer to lose focus of the game. Maybe something you're not seeing?

You might try replacing the battery again, maybe you got a bad one. You could also try unplugging and plugging back in the receiver.
