ok thanks anyway.

Tried that just now. No luck I think its rendering the KB useless. When you restart the PC, the lights on the KB flash, but once on the Bios Logo screen appears, I think it doesn't respond ....the caps lock LED does NOT illuminate ( for eg )

Hi thanks loads for your help and time guys. I can;t get into the bios i dont think. I built the machine a bout a year ago ( but changed the hard drive around 6 months ago!! and has very little on it! ) Its my home PC and has had very little use since i changed the hdd ( due to extra commintments at work ). I leave the PC on for days, sometimes weeks before switching it off. I like it "always on" and heard somewhere thats its better for the PC, as it stays at a constant temperature, and reduces dry joints ( oh yeah people started talking about saving energy shortly after i heard that ) The most its been used for in the last 6 months is browsing and watching TV on iplayer...

I think its the Bios Post screen. It says Asus at the top etc.... Tried pressing f8 in deifferent ways...no luck :(

Not sure at all, I would be lying if i said yes or no. I was doing loads of things at the time, and previously installed a sony erricson program to update my phone ( because thats also playing up ) a couple of hours before. Not sure if it was that either.. I think I may have left a browser open when i clicked restart, and didnt shut down the pc properly. I thought Id go and make a quick cup of tea while it restarted, and when i got back it was just like it is now. :(

Well i put the Vista DVD in, and restarted the pc - everything just keeps freezing on the boot screen... Should i be doing something else??? thank you. :)

Yeah Just tried it tried tapping, holding and morse code and it still does the same thing. :rolleyes:

Me again Hpoe you're all well! I have a prob again guys, hoping someone can help. I had an auto update of a sort come through ( i wasn't paying attention tbh) and when i was prompted to restart the pc,I did so! But now it won't go past the boot logo screen. It asks me to press delete for setup or tab for post bios message, but my kb is not responding either. I tried a wired kb, which lights up on reset, but then doesn't respond either. tried reseting the pc a few times and the same thing occurs. Its a pretty new PC and even newer hDD. :confused: Any suggestions please? :)

Fantastic - got me out of trouble - thanks again bud!

Thanks TooTech Much obliged! :)

Hi Guys - how can I convert word docs into pdf please? I'm hopeing there is an alternative to buying acrobat pro! Thank you.

Lol Thx loads for your help mate !:D

SORTED! I thought I'd try a different USB Cable which worked. Strange because I took the one i was using out of the other printer... Oh well. It all seems OK now guys - thanks loads. :)

I only tried doing that as a last resort.....

From the README notes in the driver folder - some USB hubs may experience problems with MP drivers ( NO S**T!? ) if this happens, connect the device directly to the USB port on the PC ( where else do they think i would put it exactly??? ....anyway tried that too ) or change the USB port that the device is connected to ( Tried that too! ) I think im going to bang my head against the wall a few times. ;)
