BIOS editing with Bluetooth Keyboard
I have a home-built PC (3.0 P4 , 1GB DDR 3200 RAM, Win XP Home) with a
Gigabyte GA-81PE1000 Pro-G Motherboard (Award BIOS)...I recently purchased a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Cordless desktop and am wondering if anyone can tell me if it's possible to use the keyboard to work with the system BIOS...I've tried and find that the keyboard does not work until Win XP is running...Is there a BIOS setting for the GA-81PE100 Pro-G that would enable the keyboard before Windows loads? Any asssistance would be greatly appreciated! Tony P. |

Hi.
You need device drivers running to talk bluetooth. This means you need an OS. So I would not expect a bios to be able to talk to a bluetooth device. Similar problems sometimes with USB keyboards. Grab a good old keyboard from anywhere and plug it in temporarily to do the bios thing. - Tim "TP" wrote in message om...
