Keyboard Problem in XP with K8NF-9 nForce4

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

Hi Folks,

Got my lovely new PC yesterday (K8NF-9 nForce4). However there is an
annoying problem. When I use a USB mouse with my PS/2 keyboard, the
keyboard is not recognised in Win XP.

If I remove the keyboard from Device Manager and then search for new
hardware, the keyboard is recognised and works properly.

I have tried a couple of other keyboards and the same thing happens.
I've tried disabling support for a USB keyboard in the BIOS, but no
luck.

Any ideas / similar experiences?
Thanks!
Ash

Wait for a new BIOS revision, others have reported the same issue.

Or use a USB keyboard.

Was about to make some trite comment about manufacturers expecting users to
test their equipment for them But then realised it's Christmas and
anyway, it's probably nigh on impossible to test motherboards in every
single possible combination - better to let the trailblazers sort out the
initial glitches.

Thanks guys, i'll wait for a new revision. It seems a pretty good
motherboard except for this tiny prob

All the best,
Ash

What you need is a usb to ps converter, I know a few years ago they
would come with every mouse. That way you should not have any problems,
you should be able to find them at your local computer store.

Or just pick up a cheap mouse chances are you probably would not be
able to tell the difference.
