USB Keyboard not available during windows boot sequence
Carol Haynes:
Yep - I have legacy support enabled (and MS KB says USB Keyboards need it enabled)
I don't have a problem with F8/F5/Del etc. during POST is is once Windows has started to load so I can't get to Windows Advanced Boot Options or boot time utilities.
I found a lot of articles on MS KB about USB keyboard issues - most of their workarounds seem to be have a PS2 keyboard handy which surely has to be a joke! Luckily my computer supports PS2 but there are mobos around that don't have PS2 support for mouse and keyboard - what are they supposed to do.
The trouble is it isn't a standard USB keyboard - it is a Creative Prodikeys keyboard - otherwise I would simply ise a PS2 adapter.
Anyway it looks like the solution is a spare keyboard - as if there isn't enough crap on my desk as it is!
