Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

[Kathy12345]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way of making the keyboard NOT go to sleep?  I type 20 characters and sit and wait for them to come up on screen.  When they do come up, the first few characters are missing, so I lose my train of thought while I go back and correct and re-capitalise.

If this cannot be fixed, is this grounds for returning the keyboard under warranty?  I squashed the box as I didn't think I would be needing it any more.

The mouse is much better since I installed Setpoint 6.32 but it is also not instantaneous and I would appreciate any advice about stopping that going to sleep as well.
