I go tmy computer from MDG, and when it starts, it diplays teh "intel Desktop Boards" pccture for a few seconds, and tehn begins loading XP
I have pressed escape but all that does is prevent the picture from loading
I REALLY need helping getting into the bios

boot up from Puppy CD
press ctrl + alt + backspace
type the suggested command to change mouse
type xwin and press return
What sort of mouse are you telling it you have on boot up?

use a ps2 mouse or try and unfathom this:
Quote: | usbhid.ko is the full hid module.
usbkbd.ko and usbmouse.ko are the simpler usb modules.
you could try unloading usbhid and then try the simpler modules.
"modinfo" also will provide interesting info.
They are located in /lib/modules/2.6/usb/input/. |
