USB Keyboard & Mouse Compatability

[beale]

Hi,

I have a USB wireless keyboard and mouse combo. When I start the set up
programme for Mandrake 9.1 they are recognised until after I press enter to
start set up, then nothing, they are not recognised. Has anyone had these
problems or can anyone suggest how to solve this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Ian

Care to say that again? Your post seems to have failed.

Thanks,

I'd ignore "Alexander Bartolich" <alexander.bartolich@gmx.at> if I was you,
he has sent a deliberately malformed message knowing that MS Outlook Express
is unable to handle it. Some people think that is funny and ignore the fact
that others look at the news groups at work and are forced to use Outlook.

You can examine his message by clicking on the "Properties" menu item,
select the "Details" tab and click on the "Message Source" button. He doe'nt
actually give any help, so its probably a waste a time.

Sorry I can't help you in this, I just get annoyed at the ignorant few who
are so obsessed with anto-MS rhetoric that they go out of their way to make
life difficult for the majority.

"Malformed" would mean that it disobeys specs. In fact, Outlook Express
is guilty of disobeying specs.

No, you're not. Go to [url]http://www.forteinc.com/[/url] and download Free Agent.

You are if you don't have install rights on your work PC, smart arse.

Yes I am, I cannot install software on my machine (for security reasons, and
because some other lusers managed to introduce viruses into the network).

(Please don't top-post. Fixed.)

If reading Usenet is part of your job, then ask the IT department to
install Free Agent for you; it's well worth it. If reading Usenet is
not part of your job, then why all the fuss?

Only completely retarded motherfucking morons crosspost questions to
ten groups. Especially to a mix of nine English and one German group.

But then expecting serious answers to such Usenet pus is imbecility
of a higher dimension. So right now I tend to favor your nomination
to the Scum Of The Net Award (TM).

Yeah. Trustworthy computing at its finest.

Ctrl+F3 for short.

Exactly. I'm evil incarnate.
