Usb to ps2 mouse n keyboard adapter Q
 

Wonder if anyone can give me any tips or tech help, just got a usb to ps2 converter cable so i can connect keyboard n mouse as my original serial ports are knackered plus cant be replaced as soldered to motherboard [bloody pain as the thing bleeps a lot grr]

Comp has recognised new harware n found driver for it n restarted comp only prob is that pc aint recognising keyboard / mouse connection thro usb at all & cant use either....any ideas gratiously received????

TIA

When you say the PC isnt recognisisng the USB mouse/keyboard, do you mean when the system boots up or when in the operatng system?

What OS are you using?

Is USB enabled in the BIOS? - need to enable USB legacy support if it uses this term and check USB keyboard/mouse support enabled. BUT if your keyboard PS/2 port is kaput and its not recognising a USB one , then you wont be able to get in the BIOS to change it (catch 22)

If its the OS need to check in device manager - but if your keyboard/mouse arent working you wont be able to do that will you! - are both ps/2 ports kaput?

Just re read your message - what do you mean when u say to bleeps a lot? Does it beep when you switch it on? How many times?
