Hi


I've got XP pro and vista running on same pc - its been working fine for ages until I tried to boot into XP today and the keyboad (Logitech G15) flashes once and I cannot choose between XP Pro and Vista. It automaticcaly goes into Vista and the keyboad is funtional again.

I know from googling that the problem is setting legacy usb keyboard drivers in the BIOS but the problem is that i cant even get into the BIOS at boot as the keybaord is dead.

Is there anyway to get the PC to reboot into BIOS from Vista.

Thanks for any help

well USB logitech G not recognised at boot, neither is a normal PS2 keyboard. Perhaps a vista update has buggered it up.

Would a BIOS flash help - I think I can do one from withon Windows?
 
Mate - thats the whole problem - No keyboard = no getting into BIOS.

I'm going to buy a PS2 to USB converter tomorrow for the old PS2 keyboard and give that a go - otherwise I really don't know what else to do.

Is there a way to reboot autyomatically into BIOS i.e. via msconfig - I look but theres nothing obvious.
