    Is USB Legacy set to Enabled ?

    The fourth page of the System Setup contains configuration options for port settings (Figure 4). The options that can be changed are:
    • Serial Port: can be set to COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or Disabled.
    • Infrared Data Port: can be set to COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or Disabled.
    • Parallel Mode: can be set to ECP, Normal, Bidirectional, or Disabled.
    • Click Volume: adjusts the decibel level of keyboard click sound, when enabled.
    • Keyboard Click: can be set to Enabled or Disabled.
    • Num Lock: can be set to Enabled or Disabled. This setting only works if an external keyboard is attached.
    • External Hot Key: allows for an external keyboard to emulate the Fn feature on the portable keyboard. Can be set to Scroll Lock or Not Installed.
    • USB Legacy: This enables support for attaching an external USB keyboard when using an older legacy OS that does not have USB support.(Not supported in Windows NT).
    • Pointing Device: can be set to Touch Pad-PS/2 Mouse, Serial Mouse or PS/2 Mouse. Serial mouse and PS/2 Mouse settings disable the onboard touchpad and pointing stick.
    • Primary Video: </SPAN>For systems docked to a C/Dock with a PCI video card, this setting allows the user to specify whether to display video output from the system video card or the PCI video card. Settings are: System or Dock Video Card.
    • Video Expansion: This setting replaces the <FN> + <F7> key functionality. Enabled will set the display to full screen expansion mode.

    Have you made sure USB Legacy is Enabled in the Bios setup ?

    At this point, I would redo the install. When presented the opportunity, delete the partition and recreate it. Do you have the resources to burn a new DVD? If yes, make a new disc and burn it at the slowest speed possible.

    You know the drill guy joins so he can make 2 or 3 messages on the board then leaves forever. Now you don't scold me, I've installed Window's 7 release candidate and when i try to imput the product key the blasted thing wont allow me, I've been told the PC is from an age that doesn't like USB keyboards but only has USB ports.
    I think this is **** and I'd like an opinion from people with brains, so here I am, The internet, The toilet of humanity.
    I installed 7 RC, I try to type in, Keyboard wont be recognised. Wont turn off, Forced turn off [Hold button for 5 seconds], Turn on, can press ENTER for "Start Windows normaly", Keyboard doesn't work. I've been informed Its to do with Drivers and Bios and Bears [oh my] BUT I'd like NOT to belive that and try my chances with you guys.
    Help me Please. I don't mean to be rude.
    Dave, Where did you get your install dvd?Maybe a new download and burn a new dvd is what you need. Have you tried a repair install?Repair Install Good luck to you with this very odd problem.

    Doc, I think we are looking at different manuals. The manual I downloaded for his service tag indicates no such option.

    Current BIOS is 1.1.11

    OK this is where things get complicated. At the time i downloaded the Image I had *COUGH* Legaly downloaded a Copy of MGS2 Substance for PC for recording purposes, I figured I'd already donated anough of my cash to Konami's new cash cow I wanted somthing back.
    To use the Image of MGS2 I was trying to use an Image Emulator. Unfortunetly I had no idea how much fail Vista is, And that MGS2 didn't work with it. And Everything i usually try to do on my computer goes deadly wrong.
    Then I gained word of a "Windows 7" on a usual Metal Gear fansite i Visit.
    I figured as it's not a clean install and the Virtual Disk Drive was properly installed on the computer I Could use the Virtual Drive for the .ISO of Mindows 7. It appeared to go off without a hitch, perfectly, until i came to the Start up.
    It appeared to work fine, The install didn't skip, It looked perfect.
    This place is pretty much a last ditch effort, because I cannot risk reinstalling Vista...
