I bought a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard and on my Vista machine it is not recognized until I get to the welcome screen. That means I can not access the mb bios, Acronis True Image menu or tyhe safe mode menu. My other IBM keyboard has no such issue. Funny thing is that this is connected to a KVM and on the other PC that has XP on it I get no such issue with the same keyboard. I guess this is a mb issue or is it possible that it is a Vista issue of some kind?
 
Typically, only two USB ports are usable during POST. Try changing USB ports to the ones below the NIC.
 
I'll try that but the IBM keyboard on the same port worked fine so don't think that is it. I'll let you know if you are correct or not though. Thanks.
 
Changed to another port and it is still the same. It has to be a compatibility issue between this keyboard and the motherboard. It's ok, I'll just make sure to keep my IBM keyboard around for when I do need access to functions that I may need before Vista loads.
