Cordless keyboard - PC won't boot without a corded one!

P

Philip Herlihy

My friend has a cordless keyboard on her Windows 2000 Compaq Evo 1.8. When
the machine boots, it complains it can't find a keyboard - presumably
because the driver for the USB receiver hasn't loaded at that early stage.
She has to keep an old PS2 keyboard plugged in. This is the second time
I've encountered this situation.

Is there a fix?

Whoops! Should have picked a Win2K group - sorry! I'll nevertheless be
glad of any tips!

During the boot, access the EVO's BIOS and set the options "Use Legacy USB
devices" and/or "USB Keyboard"
