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.

Thanks, I'll see what is available. I have an ASUS motherboard too and I wonder how I can interrupt the boot. I guess DEL won't work when there is no keyboard output. It's a nuisance rather than a fatal problem but, otherwise, I like my new Logitech keyboard.
