The keyboard only works at certain times....Here is the scene:

when you first turn your computer on, you'll see things like Hit <F2> to enter Setup. if you go into setup at that point, when it is still just DOS, you can use the keyboard to navigate around in that menu. as soon as windows kicks in, it stops working. Any ideas??

Bare with me..I have little knowledge in this area :)

so since it works in DOS the keyboard isn't broken....it just isn't reading it correct?

i don't know anything about vista yet. i'm still using XP SP3

Would someone mind showing him how to get to accessibility so he can choose the keyboard as a controller?
