Can you not just use an old ps2 keyboard, or a standard usb one? Just to get you through the install screens I mean.

You cannot Use a wireless Keyboard or Mouse when setting up XP..
You have to use PS2, I have even run into problems when using a USB keyboard on startup…

I had no problems earlier with wireless keyboard during setup this is the first time

They make so many different wireless keyboards/mouses now days…
That is why they all come with there OWN Driver Disk..
in which XP will NOT find ON SETUP…
