Mouse/keyboard problems on booting from rescue CD or using F11

My HP wireless mouse and keyboard do not work when I boot using the rescue CD or by pressing F11 to load Acronis. However, if I substitute Microsoft non-wireless optical mouse (connected to mouse port through USB converter) and keyboard (connected to keyboard port), they work.

I am using Acronis TI Home v10 buld 4942. Is there any way I can get the HP wireless mouse and keyboard to work after booting from Acronis?

 

Hi moh

Check to see if your problem is the same as mine was in this post

Thanks for the prompt reply. My USB Legacy Mode Support is set to Auto. I could try changing it to Enabled which may enable me to use the wireless keyboard and mouse per your experience. However, I am quite happy with the Microsoft wired keyboard and optical mouse that I have since substituted and I think I will stick with these. The wireless mouse was less accurate and used up batteries quickly.

 

I agree, generally the best policy is to stick with what your happy with.
I also settled for a corded mouse for the same reason as you although the keyboard has run on the same batteries for well over a year now.
