keyboard need to be upluged and pluged in again to work???

#1 Post by Cassirer » Fri Jul 14, 2006 9:19 am

I have an external keyboard. When XP starts it does not see the keyboard. If I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in suddenly it recognizes it and works without problem.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

Thanks

Is it a USB keyboard? Does it use any PS/2 to USB adapter?

Is legacy USB support turned on in the BIOS?
