Computer will not boot up from diskette or CD-ROMMy computer running Win 2000 Pro. does not recognize the keyboard or the
mouse. I tried to boot from a DOS diskette or a Norton Utilites CD-ROM but it goes to Windows and ask for ctrl-alt-del. I cannot inturrupt the boot setup either. Suggestions?

Do they work before Windows Starts, or do they not work from boot up, if so then you may have a faulty Motherboard. Jud How can I interrupt the BIOS set up when in order to do so I have to hit the
Delete key and the keyboard is not responding? The keyboard and mouse work in another computer.

They can be pretty tricky like that and unfortunately there's no de-facto standard for that at this time that I'm aware of but most seem to like the ESC key that I've been buying lately. When you first boot turn your monitor on first and boot, it will hopefully say something about which key to press to enter setup, if not then while it's still receiving a signal try rebooting it again just to see if it does so. If it does then you will want to press whatever key/combination of keys are required to enter the BIOS setup utility. Galen -- "But there are always some lunatics about.
