Make sure you get the latest bios updates for your mobo and check that little cmos cell battery as well. it usually last 4-7 yrs. But when it's dead the startup acts at its own will.

The problem actually started before the new keyboard which is one of the reasons I got a new one. One day out of the blue, the computer wouldn't boot up. I contacted Larsin (who is incredibly tech savvy and a genuinely nice fella) and he suggested that it was my keyboard. He explained that I needed to change something in the settings to ignore keyboard errors upon startup. Don't recall exactly what he said but I wrote it down. Bama gave me the disk today for the USB drivers. I'm going to re-install them tomorrow and see what happens. Virus scans have so far come back clean. Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll let ya know how it's going. Most Canadians are nice BB, not just Larsin, an exception might be Budman, but for the most part we are ALL very nice people, lol. What version of windows are you running and what's your mb? cheers Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
