Using USB Keyboard/Mouse with Microsoft Windows OSs
This section applies if either a USB keyboard or USB mouse is connected. It does not
apply if a PS/2 keyboard and mouse are used.
Windows 98 SE/Windows 2000
The use of a USB keyboard/mouse with an operating system that supports USB
devices requires changing the default BIOS settings before and after the installation of
Windows 98 SE/2000.
‘Legacy USB Support’ must be enabled in the BIOS to allow a USB keyboard/mouse
to operate as a PS/2 device during the installation of Windows 98 SE/2000. After the
installation is complete, the computer will restart and actually boot Windows
98 SE/2000. As the computer is restarting to boot the operating system for the first
time, ‘Legacy USB Support’ must be disabled and ‘Assign Interrupt to USB’ must be
enabled. If Legacy USB Support is not disabled, Windows 98 SE/2000 will attempt to
load a device driver for a device (USB) that is not present at that point. See “BIOS
Setup” on page 87 for guidelines on changing BIOS settings.
A suggested workaround to this situation is to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse,
disable ‘Legacy USB Support’ and enable ‘Assign Interrupt to USB’ in the BIOS, and
install Windows 98 SE/2000. At some point after the installation is complete, replace
the PS/2 keyboard and mouse with a USB keyboard and mouse and make the
changed mentioned above to the BIOS. This approach might be easier since you don’t
have to worry about making changes to the BIOS at exactly the right time.
Windows NT 4.0
The use of a USB keyboard/mouse with an operating system that does not support
USB devices requires changing the default BIOS settings.
‘Legacy USB Support’ must be enabled in the BIOS to allow a USB keyboard/mouse
to operate as a PS/2 device. This setting must be enabled prior to the installation and
during the operation of Windows NT 4.0. See ‘BIOS Setup’ on page 87 for guidelines
on changing BIOS settings.
