Greetings-- 



Perhaps you've already tried this, but sometimes the BIOS of the motherboard is not properly set up to recognize USB devices prior to the computer loading the operating system.  When your computer starts, press the Del key (or whatever key allows you to set the hardware settings available in the BIOS or CMOS setup area), then look through the various screens for USB settings and see that they are all enabled.  It could be something as simple as this.  One that comes to mind is "legacy USB" - enabled/disabled.  Even something like this should probably be enabled in order for the USB transmitter to be recognized.

Subject: [PCBUILD] M/S wireless keyboard/mouse combo 3000 

I recently began using this new wireless combo. On several occasions now since I bought this M/S wireless mouse and keyboard combo, I've booted up and noticed that the screen says no keyboard detected.  And after I'm in windows, I have no keyboard or mouse.  I try rebooting and still nothing.  I remove the transceiver and replace and sometimes that helps.  It should still be under warranty.  Also, most of the time the mouse is erratic if I am scrolling a page, then all of a sudden the page will start scrolling uncontrollably. Batteries are new.  The whole combo is only 3 months old. Please advise.  Would someone explain how this USB controller is loading at boot up anyways.  I have an ASUS m/b with the latest bios available dated 2006.  I am running Windows XP SP3.  Thank you
