RupertS Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thrown out old keyboard & mouse & replaced. Both are USB.XP fails to detect them at logon.I can use the keyboard in BIOS & have checked BIOS to make sure that USB is not disabled.So, I can't logon in either normal or safe mode.There are no PS2 sockets.The USB ports are working because I can plug in a Flash Drive and see it in BIOS boot options.I have tried mouse & keyboard in all six USB sockets, restarted, waited for several minutes but still they are not detected.I have now run out of ideas.Can anyone out there help at all?

MANEMAN Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I've got intermittent internet connection at the moment. Best I can come up with is : http://goo.gl/Wwsbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertS Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah, I previously scoured the net but found nothing useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Do you see the devices in Device Manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sorry, I missed that. How about the old keyboard/mouse; are they already gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertS Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I borrowed another keyboard, same make as the old one and it was detected.So, having logged on I installed the new one and voila!Seems odd though, the new keyboard worked fine on other PCs but on the XP box none of the six USB sockets would detect it or any of four other keyboards I tried.Thanks for you input.

Boris Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just out of interest, what was the make and model of the keyboard that wasn't being recognised ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
