Your computer alone does not have the drivers needed to use a wireless keyboard when it is working out of Windows. Naturally, it will work after Windows has booted up.

Borrow or purchase a standard keyboard, this will work.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. I have however formatted before using my wireless, and have had no problems whatsoever.
I did try with a normal keyboard, only that a blue screen comes up.
Any other suggestions? THanks!!

When I first tried formatting a PC, I had the same problem due to my Keyboard & Mouse being plugged into a USB Hub. GMAC is right. Anything wireless won't be picked up on a reformat. If it is plugged into a USB hub, then plug it in direct. This is the only other thing I can think of
