What type of mouse and keyboard were you using before? USB or PS/2?
Well after putting this post on the website I was able to reach the
retailer
who sold me the computer and we turned off all errors on boot-up. But
the
mouse that was attached to the computer was a PS/2 using the mouse port.
If
there is any better way instead of turning off error messages upon reboot
that would be good too.
Thanks
So, what, now you're saying it was just an error message and never did
prevent you from using Windows properly?
You were using a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard before and had no
problems. That's because PS/2 devices are supported by your BIOS. When
you load Windows, USB devices aren't supported until their drivers are
loaded. Your BIOS doesn't support legacy USB devices (i.e., mouse and
keyboard) or isn't configured to support them. If the problem is your
BIOS doesn't support legacy USB devices then you really should use the
PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard. Why? Because if you ever have
to go into the BIOS config screens or boot to a command-mode for Windows
(recovery console), you won't have the mouse or keyboard available
because their USB drivers haven't yet been loaded.
Doesn't that wireless mouse and keyboard combo come with a PS/2 adapter
that you can use to convert the USB plug end into a PS/2 plug end?
Otherwise, go into your BIOS config screens to see if there is an option
to enable legacy USB device support.
ports on the back of my tower, all of them work when used separately, but if
I try to plug more then on thing in nothing works, at the moment I have my
mouse plugged into one of the USB ports on my old keyboard, I got a new key
board and tried to plug it into one of the USB ports on the tower and it
worked, plugged the mouse in another port and nothing worked, took the
keyboard out and then the mouse worked, so I gave up and put my old keyboard
back with the mouse plugged into the back of it, I am using XP service pack
2 by the way, this has really got me baffled, any idea's as what the problem
can be?
Thanks
