hi guys had a computer off a guy at work to look at he thinks hes got virus problems with it etc , he asked me if id have a look at it , its a bout four years old .
i plugged my saitek usb keyboard in and booted up the computer straight away before windows boots it asks for a admin password ,which i got . i cant put it in because it wont accept my usb keyboard so i thought ill try my old ps2 keyboard it wont accept that either ! now i havent had his keyboard yet but im puzzled beacause his is a logitech usb wireless keyboard and it works apparently and im wondering why it wont accept any of mine , any ideas ? oh by the way i cant even get in to the bios settings in the post to check settings etc
 
keyboard problems

yes it is isnt it , my mate swears it works with his keyboard which is usb , both the keyboards light up but the keys do not work , yes im sure i put it in right port , hes bringing me his keyboard monday so if i get no more info on the subject ill wait and see if his works
 
right bororob i tried what you said and left it 5 mins for drivers to load in for the kb but still nothing , i do get a hight pitched sound from the tower when i press the keys but they dont do nothing .
by the way the log in is during the post and not when windows starts up this problem is before windows starts to load , any ideas much appreciated
