If you did not enabled Legacy USB support in BIOS before you installed Logitech USB keyboard and optical mouse, there will be no possibility of user inputs until after Windows has loaded. i_Xp/Vista/W7User

Yes it is USB wireless. You still need to enable Legacy USB support in BIOS for it to work at bootup. If you don't, both KB & mouse are uslesss until after Windows loaded. i_Xp/Vista/W7User

Of course....so as to enable them, plug in a PS/2 keyboard >> go to BIOS >> go to Integrated peripherals >> Find - USB Mouse Legacy support - USB Keyboard Legacy support Then set them to "Enabled" >> Press F10 >> Y >> Enter....

I think you'll find that there's a setting in the BIOS (probably under Power Management) to boot the system from the keyboard - not too unusual & not the usual act of a virus. "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..."

Don`t logon to Windows....just do the job and switch back to Logitech Mk300... and yes, it`s in power management....my bad....I thought I saw in "Integrated Peripherals".... Google is your friend www.google.com ----------------------- Keyboard not present,press F1 to continue...
