No mouse/keyboard in Safe Mode startup

When I start safe mode now in Win 7 Pro 64bit...both my mouse and keyboard are non responsive...so...I can not start "Safe Mode"

Same mouse and keyboard (Logitech K260) has be running without issues for a long long time.

There is no issue when running in normal mode...and also running Acronis True Image in what I think is Linux mode at boot ?

Have tried Logitech USB toggle in a number of open USB ports and no change in safe mode startup

Any suggestions on how to get the mouse/keyboard back and functioning in Safe Mode?

Thanks...TRinAz

Are they wireless. Logitech k260.
Safe mode loads only basic drivers. Try a wired keyboard in Safe mode.

Thanks...yes they are wireless but my Win 7 Pro 64bit has worked for years with this key board and mouse...including safe mode. I did repair install a couple weeks ago and feel this is probably the reason

Hopefully I still have a ps2 mouse/keyboard out in the garage...have even tried a system reinstall from recent (after repair install) Acronis backup but still no joy ?

Thanks...yes the bios is enabled and in the bios readout at start up the keyboard-mouse-and usb drive are found/listed.

Have discovered that after a minute or 2...I do have access to both mouse and keyboard...with my wireless mouse/keyboard.

The difference after the repair install is that there is this 60-90 second delay...whereas previously the mouse/keyboard were active immediately at safe mode startup.

Have one other option that I may look into but for now...the mouse/keyboard is working in safe mode...albeit with a 60 second or so delay...

Thanks....TiminAz
