PC won't boot with apple usb keyboard attached

basically that.. if I have my slim aluminium apple keyboard attached in any way to my pc when it starts up it hangs at the usb startup, however if I disconnect it and wait until its told me there is no keyboard attached and thren plug it in all is fine.

Any ideas?

Its annoying because it means I have to have a keyboard knocking about for BIOS access.

haven't seen that as an option, I'll have a look

faffed around with the BIOS and nothing is jumping out at me, changed some settings and nothing seemed to work.. any other suggestions?

Its an ASUS P5K delux btw.

Why would you use an Apple keyboard on a PC in the first place?

daft thing is its fine if I boot with my dell keyboard and go into the bios then unplug that keyboard and plug in the apple one I can go around the bios fine, make changes, save and exit.. reboot.. hangs at initialising usb controllers.

Its not terminal, just merely irritating, more because it baffles the wife and encourages her to unplug things on the odd occasion it restarts (maybe once a month but still...)

Its so lovely to use and quiet that its worth it.
