Hi all,

I would like to be able to just plug in a USB keyboard that I have without
having to use a PS/2 adapter. (The adapter is now slack and falls out
easily)The problem is that when I restart the computer after attaching this
USB keyboard directly using a USB port (and not the "keyboard port" )the
machine doesn't see it. I get an error message at startup. How can I get
around this?
 
Go into the computer's bios. Enable legacy USB devices.

Thanks for the quick response.
I've got "USB Keyboard Support [Enabled] and
Onchip USB [Enabled]. I don't see "legacy USB devices".
 
Make sure the mouse is plugged into the USB port that is designated for the
mouse. This will be physically located on the M/B. Look at the top of the
port area on the rear of the case.
