MS Wireless 600 Mouse & Bios

[Guest]

Recent purchase of MS Wireless keyboard/mouse 6000 v2... Upon setup, then
boot in WinXP64, the Bios sees the keyboard fine but doesn't recognize the
mouse (ps/2 mouse not found, press F1 to continue) - causing a halt in the
booting of XP64. Both Keyboard/Mouse are fine within XP64, and all related
usb/mouse fields in the bios have been assessed or enabled, but still the
boot process halts during the post... Any ideas??
Thanks in Advance.

Unless there is a special need for this equipment, wireless keyboards and
mice are just kids toys creating additional problems.

Upon setup, then boot in WinXP64, the Bios sees the keyboard fine but doesn't recognize the
mouse (ps/2 mouse not found, press F1 to continue) - causing a halt in the
booting of XP64.

See if there is a BIOS option like "Mouse port reservation" or "IRQ12h
reserved". If this is the case, disable that option. Not a Windows issue
anyway.

Try another USB port for the mouse.
