Is this a PS/2 mouse/keyboard, or a USB or wireless?

Can you get to the BIOS and turn USB emulation off, if that is an option and you have a standard PS/2 mouse and keyboard?my keyboard is an usb PORT! and my mouse i connect to the com 1 of the pc!last few weeks i can acces to the cmos set up and i can press del key!I think if you had a normal PS/2 setup all would be well. At least that may be required to get into the BIOS.

Have you tried with a normal set? Does that fix all problems?for now i do not have a ps/2 keyboard! maybe 2morrow i will buy! i hope i will work! but actually this is my first time it happens to me! i always use that keyboard to acces the cmos set up!i do not have an updated WIN 98 and i dont have a virus and spyware protection! dont you think it might be cause of an spyware?
thanx man!for ur time and effort!i REALLY appreciate it!okay have to buy a new one!Virus and spyware protection is critical for any Windows based computer on the internet. Once you get your inpute devices working you might want to download and use Ad Aware, Spybot and AVG Free edition. All of these are free and you can do a google search to get them?

Where are you located?
