Bluetooth keyboard not recognised on bootup?

Marmotta · 11 Jan 2009 at 13:09

I have an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse which are set up with a bluetooth USB adapter and are working fine, but I have a small problem in that whenever I power on my PC, it won't recognise the presence of the keyboard, so I need a USB keyboard hanging around just so I can boot up any time. Is there any way I can easily get around the problem?

Iirc, most wireless keyboards don't work until you get to Windows where upon it loads the drivers for it...

Is it saying "no keyboard detected"
In that case go into the BIOS and change the boot options so it doesnt halt on keyboard errors.

Cool, just wasn't too sure about whether there was such an option on the BIOS or not.
