Hello All!

I have just installed a wireless keyboard (Logitech 715). The trouble is
that it uses a USB connection that is not active until Windows XP boots.
Thus I cannot use the enter key or arrow keys when the menu of systems is
displayed. Has anyone any ideas about how to deal with this problem? I'm
going to try Logitech forums too.

This is a limitation of the motherboard. Try setting the BIOS to support
legacy USB devices, hopefully to enable them earlier, but if the hardware
can't support it, there's pretty much no way around it.

The ASUS board on this system does this kind of thing too. I keep a PS/2
keyboard on hand for emergencies.
