138634 2003-04-24 21:43:00 I have XP and a M/S keyboard,the key board doesn't function untill windows is ready to go from start,question is how do I open the bios? Thomas (1820)
138635 2003-04-24 21:48:00 Just a guess, but it might work :)

if you can borrow a keyboard to get into the bios just once, there should be an option in the bios somewhere to turn on something like "Keyboard legacy support" or something along those lines (My limited stupid bios doesn't have it, but I've seen it in many others) - turn it on and then try it with your keyboard...

138637 2003-04-25 00:13:00 Does your keyboard have a USB connection? If so borrow another PS2 keyboard, enter the BIOS and ensure the USB keyboard is enabled.

138638 2003-04-25 02:09:00 I am right in saying that entry to bios is via key board only?Yes it is usb connection,just have to get another keyboard.
I feel I must be missing something,can't believe that M/S would put out an expensive keyboard and not have access to the bios,but it is true lights up at opening as explained.

If you encounter this problem use a ps2 connected keyboard,that solves the problem.
Those annoyanc.org people know there stuff.
