Keyboard won't work until OS Win 7 is fully up and running

Anyone know of a fix for this problem?

I can use my keyboard in my OS fine but trying to go into safe boot or Bios is not possible because the keyboard is not showing up.

Really would love some help so if someone with a similar issue in the past could please help that would be great.

You must be able to enter the BIOS as the option is there, are you using the correct Hotkey?

Most BIOS builds include the option to support a USB Keyboard.

Plug in a PS/2 keyboard temporarily and explore the BIOS and change this setting so that you can use a USB keyboard with the BIOS, that will solve the issue

So I need to buy a PS2 Keyboard?

I can borrow one from work maybe... best ask before I take :-)

Any other possibles? I did rest the Bios last week if I remember correct. So the PS2 must be the standard setting then? School boy error....

Any other way to access without the need to get a PS2 Keyboard?

Maybe running CMD....?

That's your answer then. No way I know of except with a PS/2 KB I'm afraid...

First, did you unplug and replug in your keyboard?

You can try a nutty solution. Turn on your pc. While booting, unplug it. Next time your turn it on, it might say your Windows session did not end correctly at the safe mode screen. Not optimal solution, but an idea.

I still would try a new keyboard.

Okay, I've got it. Type msconfig, and select boot tab. Check the safe mode box. Reboot. Remember to uncheck this the next time.
