Default key board at start up

I cant get into safe mode by pressing f8 at start up.
I have discovered that this is due to my keyboard not being active at start
up( it is a wirless usb keyboard)
If i use a keyboard with a cord its fine.
My wirless keyboard worked fine before.
Could my usb ports be disabled during start up from some adjusted settings
or something??
Please help

As the computer boots, go into the BIOS Setup, usually by pressing the 'DEL'
key of 'F2' key. In there is usually a setting to enable USB keyboard
support, although it will probably be called something else. Each bios
manufacturer calls it something else, puts it in a different menu, and
handles it differently, so you'll just have to look around a bit.
