| 870066 | 2010-03-26 22:42:00 | Hi Wainui T; Smart arn't you :thanks I had trouble again this morning-have just found ---independantly--:illogical what was wrong Yes it was the wireless set up which Mr xtra gave me for 12 years loyal usuage :yuck: I had same old same old this morning-could boot up completely, mouse or keyboard would only take two letters of my password and then seize right up--- to now, 11.30 am and was about to re install W7 --just changed USB ports on the spur of the moment-- and bingo I am away laughing--talk about a horseshoe nail causing the battle to be lost Why would that be?---and I got into safe mode and did my Malwarebyte scan quite successfully Have not yet had to set up the BIOS---should I yet? as it is working beautifully? My maligning xtra's free gift has to be taken back:wub I must have set up the BIOS accidently perhaps :thanks effie c |

| 870067 | 2010-03-26 22:57:00 | Some mobos, even tho they support USB, they dont support USB keyboards for things like safe mode / or when you do a clean install of windows. The other PC here (the P4) wont work with USB keyboards, when doing a clean install. I have to connect a PS2 kb to install windows, then connect the USB kb after. Whereas this one works, no prob at all. I can use it to get into the BIOS, select any option then save the settings. This is using a USB wireless kb (so is the P4) |

| 870068 | 2010-03-26 23:00:00 | Not smart -:D Just seen "weird"things happen before . Bit harder when I ( or others) cant actually see the setup a person has, sometimes it list possible solutions, then hopefully one will work :nerd: What happened ?? could just be drivers got screwed up for some reason, and putting into a different USB port, installed fresh drivers . Got a customer who had a wireless setup, KB & mouse, at least once every 3 months I had to go back , plug in a wired setup to get the wireless working again . In the end she just brought the KB/mouse I had ( wouldn't let me take it away) :lol: When wireless works its fine, but when it plays up, you still usually need a wired connection to fix it . |
