Keyboard Problems and Vista

[jba6511]

I have Logitech's cordless desktop EX110. When I had Windows Xp installed everything worked fine. However, I made a partition and installed Vista. Now when the boot selection screen pops up, the keyboard and mouse do not work. However, once the OS loads, both work again. Right now I have the receiver plugged into the USB port but have tried with it plugged into the PS2 as well with the same results. Also, all drivers are installed. Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem? Its a real pain to have to use 2 keyboards.

its strange because I can use the wireless keyboard to enter bios setup, but when the boot selection screen loads, it no longer works until the os loads.

So there is nothing that can be done about this? I have plugged in the ps2 into the keyboard as the receiver has a ps2 hookup and a usb hookup, but it does not help. Is this what you mean by a usb to ps2 adapter?

I had the same problem. Enable "Legacy USB support" is BIOS and you will be set. I have a cordless Logitech keyboard also.

That helps when working in the bios but that support isn't there when you get out of the post and are not yet in the windows/vista enviroment. That point at which your stuck in the boot selection screen and can't do anything without a standard ps2 keyboard.

Well I had the same issue. As soon as I changed that setting in BIOS, the USB keyboard works perfectly in the Boot Manager.

thanks. I made the changes in BIOS and it works fine now. I had to enable USB keyboard support for the gigabyte 965p s3.
