Okay so heres the deal,
I know for a fact its not problems with the reciever, or the keyboard, or the mouse.
I Installed a student version of xp that lasts for 120 days, wireless keyboard and mouse work perfectly fine all through cmos and all through the installation process and desktop environment.
I installed student version of server i had from school, same thing everything works fine!
I have tried to install 3 different full versions of xp… xp home, xp pro, xp pro corp. edt.’s…
But the same thing on every installation… the mouse and keyboard work at first, work as the setup is loading all the neccessary files, then as soon as it says…blahblah starting windows setup, and the screen is about to change to the partition chooser… all devices freeze, the lights on the reciever go out, and not even a corded mouse or keyboard will work. only a ps2 adapted keyboard… but that does me no good.
any effing clue at all to the way to fix this? i had them work when i first had them in xp home… so i know they should work on a full install and not just crappy student trials. im baffled. help in any way shape or form would be greatly appreciated!
