Windows XP - recognition USB keyboard/mouse after change in the BIOS

I moved to use a mouse and a keyboard that is connected via PS/2 ports for a new keyboard and mouse which connect via the USB ports.  The BIOS was originally installed to recognize the keyboard and the mouse through the operating system, but to use the start menu (e.g., to be able to press the 'Del' key to access BIOS), the BIOS must be set to recognize the keyboard and mouse via the BIOS.

The problem is that in this way, Windows does not recognize the keyboard and mouse.  Is there a way to fix this?  I would like to have the keyboard and mouse recognized at startup so that I can access the start menus and the menu of the BIOS, but it does not help much if I can not then use Windows.

I guess he has put something in Windows during installation which checks the BIOS settings to determine how to access the keyboard and mouse.  Is it possible to change this setting to Windows?  Possibly through the procedure of "repair"?

Thank you

George

Check all revisions of the BIOS for your system.  You might be unluck and you might be stuck with this problem.

  • Z440: Workstation Z440 Cycles endlesly after changes to the BIOS.

    I made a change in the configuration of the Bios, maybe I changed PCIe options or others by mistake.

    From the start, I had the RED flashing eight times (the ROM Code) with no options on the screen.

    Then I tried to reset the CMOS using the key.

    After resetting the CMOS, to power up, the system seems to cycle endlessly.

    The power light is more red or flashing, white Uni.

    The white disk access indicator flashes constantly while I hear a sound of graduation of the speaker in each cycle.

    There is no interruption or modification of the status of the power led or disk access while this bike takes place.

    Each cycle lasts about seven seconds.

    A note: if I plug in a USB flash drive in a port, it lights once in each cycle, it does not read only.

    I tried to use a standard VGA interface instead of DVI, still nothing appears on the screen during the power upward.

    I tried to boot with no installed SSD, still nothing appears on the screen.  Same symptoms persist.

    I also tried the Boot Block recover jumper on the motherboard, it causes me to get the RED button with

    I recommend that you only call in the HP support and the problem taken care of. The workstation has 3 years of support on site, at least in the United States.

  • HP Compaq DC7900 SFF - no support BIOS for USB keyboard/mouse

    I recently bought a lease out vintage 2009 DC7900-Windows 7 Home Premium running. It has connectors from the motherboard and BIOS support for a PS2 Keyboard and mouse. There also card mother support for USB but apparently BIOS does not support a USB keyboard and a mouse. Y at - it a BIOS update that adds support for USB keyboard and a mouse?

    Thank you

    Well, I found what seems to be the problem. My USB keyboard and mouse are connected to a KVM switch that in turn connects to the HP PC. The KVM cable provides keyboard and mouse via a simple USB connection. I have connected a second USB keyboard directly to another USB port, and as you say, the BIOS it supported. I then connected the USB keyboard and mouse for a simple USB hub and then to the HP PC, and BIOS does not recognize the keyboard once more. It would seem that the problem is that the BIOS of the PC HP does not support keyboard behind a USB hub connectivity. I have no detailed knowledge of USB connectivity but could guess that there must be a difference Protocol when I hub is in the Middle – obviously the PC must focus on a specific device behind the hub.

    In the end, I think I'm stuck just keep a separate keyboard (PS/2 or USB) around for those times when I need to communicate to the BIOS.

    I have another PC of the same vintage - a custom platform - and it handles the keyboard behind the hub very well. I wonder if all new PC BIOS handle this.

    Thanks again for your responses - very useful.

    Good afternoon

    I'm trying to deploy Windows 7 for Optiplex 7040 using SCCM 2012, I downloaded ACR and imported the drivers, I have also injected the Ethernet drivers and it is very much the startup of WinPE.

  • Inspiron 15R (5537) wake from its slumber when the lid is closed through the usb keyboard/mouse

    I have an Inspiron 15R (5537) which has all the latest drivers from Dell BIOS A01 Reference (Windows 8). I have the options of closing the lid set to "do nothing" for the two battery and plugged in, but no matter what I try, when the lid is closed I can't the laptop to wake up via USB keyboard or mouse.
    The keyboard and mouse have the wake-up option enabled in the settings of their material.  I also wake up from USB enabled in the BIOS.
    What is interesting, is that if I put the computer to sleep with the lid open, I can wake him up from the keyboard or the mouse.  But with the lid closed, the only way to wake up, it should open the cover and press the power button.
    Anyone know a solution to this?
    Summary:
    Cover open: CAN wake from USB keyboard/mouse.
    Cover closed: don't wake up if I open the lid and press the power button.

    Pete,

    Depending on where you live, you will have the rights of consumers.  I live in Australia and we have pretty good consumer protection.

    I asked Dell - repair, replace it with one that works, or pay back me.

    They went away for a few weeks, and when I "called home" a few times, they acknowledged that they could not solve the problem and offered me a full refund. The laptop was picked up yesterday and I expect the refund within about five days. The guy on my "case" has been very professional!

    I guess that you informed Dell FORMALLY of the problem via a support ticket?

    I did that and followed by chat and phone calls.

    Whist, the ability to wake up via USB is not explicitly described in any of their literature, the bios has available and W8.1 has the facility.  they built it all - EXCEPT that they forgot the lid...

    see you soon

  • Inspiron 17R SE 7720 wake from its slumber when the lid is closed through the usb keyboard/mouse

    So I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 which has all of the latest drivers with BIOS A11 (Win 7 Ultimate x 64)...  I have all the settings properly configured for sleep power (no hibernation), however no matter what I try, I can't get the laptop to wake up when the lid is closed through USB keyboard.

    I use a combo of MK560 Wave from Logitech (unifying receiver) - keyboard and mouse have the wake-up option enabled in the settings of their material.  I also wake up from USB enabled in the BIOS.

    What is interesting is that if I put the computer to sleep with the lid open, I can do/wake it from Logitech devices.  With the lid closed, I can only do sleep - the only way to wake up, he is to open the cover and press the power button.

    Anyone know a solution to this?

    Cliffs Notes:

    Cover open: CAN sleep/wake from USB keyboard/mouse

    Cover closed: can sleep ONLY - don't wake up if I open the Start button / cover & press

    It seems that a new A13 BIOS was released on 18 March, all it says in the section '' correction '' is to "maintain the release." Download it now and see if it fixed more on the question of the USB.

There is no other way to control this model computer. The only connections on this PC is only the USB connections.

    a. to access the BIOS, turn on the laptop and immediately press the ESCkey to display the Start Menu and press the F10 key.
    b. press F9 to reset the default settings of the BIOS and press Enter to confirm the action.
    c. Press F10 to save the changes and exit the BIOS and press Enter to confirm.
