Using the keyboard to choose OS in OSS?

[riffraff]

Hi,
is it possible to use the keyboard to select a bottable OS in AOSS or do I have to use the mouse?
I can't find something about this in the manual?

You can use either the keyboard or the mouse. Once the menu is setup using the keyboard is easy. If you have a system where the mouse doesn't work correctly in OSS, it will be easier to setup OSS options from Windows.

If you have to use the keyboard, ALT + key and the TAB buttons should be able to handle everything. Goodluck.

my usb keyboard and mouse will not respond,I cannot select anything.....am I stuck for good??

[MudCrab]

I use a wired USB keyboard and it works okay with OSS. Is yours wireless? Some wireless keyboards/mice have problems.

Also check if there is a Legacy USB option in the BIOS and try it ON or OFF and see if it helps.

Hello bbarker,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Partition and Disk Managing Software (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/).

Could you please try disabling USB Legacy Support in BIOS settings as MudCrab advised?

Could you please navigate to Acronis OS Selector -> Tools -> Options -> Input Devices using keyboard and try to change the mouse type?

Should the issue persists, please provide vendor and model of the mouse and keyboard you use. Then submit a request for technical support (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/my/support/). Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the link to this thread. We will investigate the problem and try to provide you with a solution.

Thank you.
