I unhooked everything, and a day later, I reconnected everything, but... The machine boots up, says found new optical mouse, human interface device...and then the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, with the three selections, but, neither the arrow keys on the kbd or the mouse will make the mouse arrow on the screen move. Everytime I reboot/start, the same thing happens. F2 gets me to Startup, and F12 gets me Boot Selections, and in both of these screens, the kbd works fine, and all settings look fine. When I ESC/Exit out of either of these screens, the desktop loads up, and repeats found new hardware...but still no input device works. CTRL/Alt/Del doesn't work, NUMLOCK doesn't work, CAPS Lock doesn't work... F8 won't get me into Safe Mode Could I have knocked something inside the machine loose while moving that would cause this? Others had used the machine before moving, and perhaps it has malware that I don't know about. I didn't load it up immediately before the move. The move is from one side of the garage to the other side. Any ideas? TIA - I hope this ng is still read by you guys. I haven't seen a new post since mid-May. Possibly replace batteries in mouse? Did that. Or try a wired mouse, temporarily and as a test. Did that. Examine USB ports. Plug keyboard into other USB ports. Try another keyboard? Did that and that and that. This does seem like an odd one... Ben Myers Yep. Since the KYBD works for the BIOS Change the setting for support for Legacy USB devices Have you tried booting from the Windows install CD? Does that work? |
