Hey all
i'm having trouble getting the pc in my sig
to recognize my new Logitech G15 keyboard.
The keyboard works on my other computers in house,
but my pc won't recognize it.

I've tried every USB port on computer, including front ports
on my Antec P180, also tried clearing CMOS a few times,
restarting machine, and powering off...

nothing helped..

is it my motherboard going bad or a driver issue?
I also did install and reinstall the drivers/software
a few times as well

The motherboard is orignal to the rig, bought in May 2006

any help will be appreciated greatly!!!

enable USB legacy support in the BIOS,

Boot from a Linux Live CD (use Ubuntu, don't try Gentoo's :D )
that way if it doesn't work in the linux desktop it's a mobo problem

otherwise reinstall windoze from scratch
 
Does it work in the bios? (after USB legacy support is turned on).

After the bios thing:

Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services: Make sure plug and play says started in its status column.

If nothing else helps I still wouldn't redo windows from scratch unless its running like crap. Id just do a repair install.

the keyboard works in the bios, but once the computer loads windows and the desktop comes on, the num lock stays lit and if you press the num lock key on the keyboard, the light doesn't turn on and off.
I'll try enabling the USB thing in the bios and also making sure plug and play status is enabled...

otherwise i guess i'm gonna have to reinstall windows which is gonna be a pita...

thanks for your help guys. i'll let u know what happens once i try the things
you all suggested

***UPDATE*****

everything is enabled
still not luck

was unable to load LiveCD for some reason due to a crappy disc,
but when i booted the XP Install CD and Live CD, the keyboard
lit up like it should and functioned properly...

this leads me to believe it is the windows install gone bad

is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling windows such as a repair?
 
Yes you can do just a repair. You act like you are installing and pick your drive. It will then say "Oh noes! windows is already here! would you like to repair instead?" You say yes and it goes along like a regular install except it leaves personalization settings in place as well as registry entries from software (your games wont need reinstall). In general it is reinstalling windows. Fixes most windows issues 90% of the time. You just dont get that fresh windows feel from having your drive reformatted and no extra stuff added yet.
 
Does the repair install still break windows updater to where it doesn't know what files are updated and what are not? I remember that from XP. It still has the registry entries for all of the updates done before the repair so does not re apply them. Or has that been corrected via windows updater?

will i have to reinstall my Apps after the repair..?
 
Not sure on the windows updater, I dont run it. Ive got my processes stripped bare.

As for losing your apps. I dont remember losing any usually but I think it will clear your startup list so dont expect to see yahoo etc... pop up on first load.
