Now it lets me press del to access the setup screen at the start but after that i cant press anything!! can anybody shed any light on the subject???
Tried a different keyboard?
If your using a wireless or USB based keyboard try using a PS2 one as this has thrown a few people I know in the past :)
Yes i am using a wirless keyboard but i will trying a PS2 one and see what happens from there. just seems strange that it works fine for everything else except when i try to do that. :shocked2:
Yeah, pretty obvious, try another keyboard as suggested and if in future you use USB you can set it to be controlled from the OS or the BIOS i always have it set to BIOS otherwise you run into similar issues that you're describing, if as you've suggested you will you use a PS2 keyboard then that's guarenteed really, the proven choice :P
