Set USB keyboard emulation = on in your BIOS.

Use the rear USB ports on your computer.

Disable "fast bootup" option if you have one in your BIOS.

Check with motherboard / PC vendor for a newer revision of the BIOS.

Good luck.

add this Q and A to the FAQ for me.

I'm tired and feeling lazy tonight.

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
