I don't recall ever having to install a driver for USB
keyboard or mouse on Win98, though it might have been 98SE,
and it was definitely not any current generations of
keyboard/mouse sets back then.

Where in the BIOS can I find USB enable setting.
Thanks


This would apply if the wireless keyboard was Bluetooth:

1.18 Can I access the BIOS settings of my system with my Bluetooth keyboard?

Yes. During boot, your Bluetooth keyboard acts as a standard USB keyboard.
This means you can use it to manage your BIOS setting or enter a boot
password without the need for a second keyboard as long as your BIOS does
not require a PS/2 keyboard in order to boot. If that is the case, you may
have to upgrade your BIOS (refer to your computer documentation for
instructions).

1.19 Can I use my Logitech product even if I have not installed the Bluetooth
stack (software) yet?

Yes. Logitech Bluetooth products are "Plug & Play". This means you can
already use your keyboard even if you have not installed the software.
Obviously, you need to install the software to get all the features of
the product. It also means you don't need to have an existing keyboard
and mouse to install Logitech desktops for Bluetooth. This is particularly
useful if you bought a new system.

Other than that, I didn't find much useful info for Y-RJ20. The keyboard
may have been used in multiple product offerings. I couldn't even find
confirmation that it uses Bluetooth.

Logitech has a forum, and you could post a question there.

For support in the BIOS, there is a "legacy setting". I would think if the keyboard
is working in the BIOS, you already have it enabled.

Please help.

Search the Logitech site, for information about your product.
By not providing the exact model number and name of the product(s),
it is pretty hard to give any details to you.

I didn't have any cordless stuff while using Win98 and earlier to know
much about it, but as I mentioned that I didn't have to install any driver
for neither WinXP nor Vista. I don't even remember if any of them come with
driver CD or not (that's how bad my memory is bg)

They come with drivers, for any OS including XP and Vista,
but the "driver" is to add extended functionality, not just
to let the system recognize them as keyboard or mouse or
allow the standard functions that any keyboard or mouse has.

One always needs a ps/2 mouse and keyboard to troubleshoot niggles.
