Re: RAID controller conflicts with wreless Keayboard & Mouse

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks.

As a belated update, it turns out that ANYTHING (not just wirless keyboard &
mouse) in this particular USB slot (off the motherboard) while the RAID
controller is installed AND has drives attached causes the failure to restart.

I just installed a RAID controller on the PCI Bus on my Win XP Pro
SP2 machine.

If I use my wireless KB & mouse, the system hangs on start-up
(black screen, no messages). I've tried 2 wirelss sets of
equipment and they both have the same effect. If I use wired KB &
Mouse - no problem.

When I temporarily remove the RAID controller - no problem with the
wireless.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Quite odd. What are the connections for each set, wired and wireless
? USB or PS2 ?

Off the top of my head, I really see no way that should have any
effect on an internal PCI card.


Both sets are USB. I think it's odd too, but it's 100% repeatable and
consistent. If either of 2 wireless KB & Mouse sets and the RAID
controller is connected, I cannot re-start the machine. Each piece of
equipment works perfectly on its own and they all work together if teh
KB & Mouse is connected after start-up.

Thanks,

Steven

So....if a wired mouse is connected and a wireless KB it works
fine...and
a wired KB and wireless mouse all is fine ?

Is there anything in the system log in the event viewer ?


Good questions. I haven't tried wired and wireless combinations of KB &
mouse, just 2 different paired sets. Not sure how to check system log.

Will look into these.

Thanks,
Steven
