Startup annoyance..

ins0mn1ac · 29 Jan 2009 at 18:05

A while back I made the move from PS2 keyboard to USB, and so on the first boot USB wasn't recognised so I couldnt enter a password. I used the ease of access thing or whatever its called for an on screen keyboard but since that boot it comes up every single time!

The answers probably simple but can someone tell me how to get rid? pleaaassee!

O yer Vista btw!

go to run, type msconfig and see if you can see an entry related to it on the startup tab.

Go into your BIOS and tell it to use a USB Keyboard rather than a PS2 one.

Why is'nt it? When I had a PS2 Keyboard and switched to a USB one this is what I had to do to make it recognize it.
