Keyboard with Fingerprint Reader and BIOS

[Guest]

I've installed Microsoft Keyboard with Fingerprint reader (USB socket, under
windows XP, hadrware is 2 years old Pentium 4).
Keyboard and reader work OK only after Windows is loaded (login prompt)...
.... but it doesn't work before - I can neither enter BIOS setup nor choose
system in boot manager!

Can anybody help me with that? I hope it is not standard feature of USB
devices.

Shut down your machine and attach a regular ps2 keyboard. Restart and go
into the BIOS. Look for an entry for the usb - usually it is Legacy
usb, but look for any usb options - and make sure everything usb is
enabled. Then shut down the machine, disconnect the ps2 keyboard,
connect the usb keyboard, and see if that works.
