Thanks for the advice Jonathan. I have one of the Microsoft Wireless keyboards on another machine of mine so I know what you are talking about. Unfortunately, this connection is USB-only. Per Tiernan's comments, I may have to go get a usb-specific keyboard.

Hi steve

I have a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, on the reciever it has 2 plugs one is a usb plug the other is a ps2 standard keyboard connector. I found by plugging the ps2 connector into the keyboard port this enbled me to get the keyboard working with bios.

I am not sure if you have this port on the reciever but its worth a look

hope this helps

cheers

Hi Steve.

Just a note, i dont think the keyboard will work with your bios. its not designed as the main keyboard for your system (i have a cheap USB keyboard pluged into my MCE for backup) just for easy use with the MCE.

Hope this helps.
