in Techie Stuff
I've just bought myself a new wireless keyboard & mouse (Labtec) which works a treat. My only issue is whenever i turn the pc off & then on i get a 'keyboard not connected, hit F1' sort of message. I then have to pull out & reinsert my usb wireless receiver & then hit F1 for the pc to load up & everything to work...
Is this normal for all wireless keyboards or is there something i can do to make it just start up normally....? :confused:
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!

    Try Control Panel, Mouse, Hardware Tab matches your new Labtec wireless.

    Went to control panel & it states that i have an HID keyboard device & it is working ok, same with the mouse (HID compliant mouse)....:confused:

    It sounds like the correct drivers have not been installed then. I have a Logitech cordless mouse and keyboard and it says 'Logitech HID Cordless Mouse+' when I look. Try installing the correct drivers.

    Unfortunately i didn't get any disc with it, just a quick start guide (it was bought new) so i'll see if i can find something on the net. It's a Media Wireless Desktop 800....

    Look in the BIOS for "Legacy USB Support" or "Legacy Keyboard Device." it may solve your problem
