Booting in with USB devices attached and turned on, help still nee
I have seen this problem before. It is usually caused by one device. In the
case I saw it was a scanner. Windows wouldn't boot if the scanner and some but not all other USB devices were connected. Unplugging the scanner allowed Widnows to boot with any other combination of USB devices connected. If you can figure out which one it is just unplug it until after Windows is running. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/forum/Forum.htm SueCaliforniaGirl wrote: Went into the Bios setting. Under USB controller ports, there was the "legacy support" and it was disabled. I tried one of the choices which was "all devices" as the only other one was "no mice." and Windows wouldn't load. The only other choices under the USB controller Ports was On Chip IDE which was set to "both" and On Chip Lan and that was set to (enabled). As far as the order of the booting in, 1st ws Floppy, 2nd was IDE, 3rd was disabled and the spot for "try other devices" was set to "no." So what else can this issue be? Is it time to get a new motherboard? ~Sue "Kerry Brown" wrote: I downloaded the manual for that motherboard. I can't see any really obvious settings in the BIOS that would cause this problem. There is one setting that you could try. It is on the Integrated Peripherals page in the BIOS. The setting is "USB 1.1 Legacy Support" If it is enabled try disabling it. If it is disabled try enabling it. If this setting is disabled and you have a USB keyboard you may not be able to get back into the BIOS until you hook up a PS/2 keyboard so make sure you have a PS/2 keyboard before disabling it. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/forum/Forum.htm "SueCaliforniaGirl" wrote in message ... I have MSI 845G Max motherboard. I have flashed the bios but that's all I know about bios and I have explicit instructions to do that. Also one other thing that might help you with helping me is: I have a Wacom on one of the USB ports and it doesn't cause any problems booting in. I bet it turns itself in in a later order, huh? I'm hoping this information will help!! Okay, pass along all the instructions!!! I'm good at following directions.. Can you give me directions where to look for the boot order or any other information that's needed, please? ~Sue ~Sue "Kerry Brown" wrote: With some BIOSs there is a seperate entry to enable booting from a USB device. This is different from setting the boot order. What motherboard do you have? -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/forum/Forum.htm SueCaliforniaGirl wrote: I don't believe that is the case. I believe my Bios are set to boot off of the C drive only but I will check. Any other suggestions, since I don't think the Bios setting is set on that? ~Sue "Kerry Brown" wrote: Look in the BIOS settings for your computer for an item that says something like "Boot from USB device". Make sure it is disabled. It is different for different motherboards so you'll have to see exactly what options are available in your BIOS. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User www.vistahelp.ca "SueCaliforniaGirl" wrote in message ... I've had a problem with USB devices in the past but found a work-around but now it's causing more problems. 1st problem was that I got a scanner (USB) and when the scanner was on, the computer would not boot in. Easy solution, turn off scanner and then boot in and then turn on scanner. Now I've gotten a USB hub and it's doing the same thing. It won't boot in until I disconnect and turn it off and boot in without it. What a pain!!! Is there any solution for this? I have Windows XP Pro, SP2, Ram is 1 gigabyte, 2.0ghz, Pentium 4. Anything I can check or do to resolved this issue? |
