This is a newish upgrade of XP Pro SP2 over win2000pro and just got a MS
Wireless Comfort Keyboard & laser mouse. My CD reader wouldn't initialize,
but I couldn't get into the bios at bootup to make sure it's recognized. F2
don't work. Delete don't work. Had to plug in the old key board and it
would only recognize Delete.

Nothing obvious in Help or on MS online. Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanx, Brent

Plugs into the PC via USB? In your BIOS configure it to enable legacy
support for USB devices and you /should/ be all set.
