Sometimes Keyboard Not Recognized At Boot Up
When I boot up my system, my keyboard is not recognized sometimes. In the past it would not see my keyboard after being awaken from a sleep state, but that appears to have stopped. I have uninstalled both of my keyboard drivers (HID and PS 2) and switched keyboards! I had to rebot three or four times before it re-installed my PS2 keyboard driver.
The PS2 driver is the 2006 32 bit Legacy driver that comes with windows 7. I am running Windows 7 64 bit business edition. I have a MSI X58 Premium Motherboard, I7 920 processor, ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics card, Enermax 500 watt power supply and two SATA hard drives (SSD 64 Gigs C: drive, Western digital 500 gb and a IDE DVD RW). I have tried several different Keyboards, with the same results. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Keyboard Mouse Not Recognized On KVM Switch
On my new Acer M7720 (X58 Core-i7-920) I have Vista HP 64 bits working fine with an Conceptronic 2 port KVM switch so I can also use keyboard, mouse & monitor on my old PC. On the new Acer I also installed Windows 7, but here the mous and keyboard are not recogized when connected through the KVM switch. I have to stick both in the front site USB ports, then baoth are working. When I stick them in the KVM switch, you can here the USB connect sound and both devices are shown under unknown devices, wereas the are shown under devices when connected through the front side USB ports. Any one an idea how to salve this? by the way the KVM switch is also 'seen' by Windows 7 under devices even though it doens't need any drivers. All conncected devices are shown (I have also 2 USB drives)

Flash Drive Not Recognized When Trying To Boot Win7
I've created the ISO file and moved it to the 4g drive using the AWESOME guide found here. However, the BIOS doesn't seem to recognize that the device is present. I've done some research and found that some usb drives aren't compatible with the BIOS? I made usb storage the only available boot option and nothing showed up. However when I look at the drive while in Vista through my computer->G: It shows up as a windows system. I've also seen somewhere about enabling "Legacy usb"? I didn't find anything like that. Should I just got buy another flash drive and try again?

I have eSATA HD connected to dual-boot comp: XP (32 bit)/Win7 RC 64 bit.In XP, I can turn the drive on/off anytime: it appears or disappears in disk manager automatically with no problem.But in Windows 7, it does not appear in drive manager's list if I turn it on AFTER I boot. Windows 7 does not see the drive even after re-scan.If I turn the drive on BEFORE boot, it shows up OK.Can anybody tell me what can be a reason for this?Thank youPSI have AHCI mode activated in BIOS.

Upon Boot, Internet Isn't Recognized
My roommate and I are both using Windows 7 on our computers. I'm using 32-bit and he's using 64-bit, and we're both experiencing this problem. When we boot up our computers and log-in, we see that networks are detected, but there is no internet connection. The fix we find is to hit the system tray icon, and click refresh on the Currently Connected To pop-up. It'll think for a second, and recognize the internet. It's not so much a problem as a Windows 7 buglet. Is this a common issue?

Windows 7 Dual Boot Recognized XP As Vista
I have XP-Pro running for many years now and have earlier installed Vista and removed it and also Ubuntu and removed it, all the while installing on an unallocated partition on the first HDD that also contains XP. I have now installed Windows 7 on the unallocated partition and all went well. Windows 7 boots and works normally, but the boot-loader recognized XP as Vista and when I try to boot it (XP) it says winload.exe missing and there is no way to boot XP as it does not use winload. How did windows 7 recognize windows xp as Vista? Earlier install of Vista recognized it correctly as well as Ubuntu's install. I have now deleted the windows 7 partition and restored the MBR and the drive letter to the XP partition and it is booting again, but I plan to try windows 7 and I want to be prepared in case the same problem happens again.

No Dual Boot Options On Wireless Keyboard
After succesfull dual boot (XP & Win7 RC) installation I am able to choose either operating system when using a connected PS2-keyboard. However when using a Logitech wireless keyboard (my usual keyboard) it wil not let me choose any options (doesnot react to keystrokes). Before the bootmenu (when stil executing BIOS commands) and after Start of Windows7 RC (because thats the dedault in the dual boot menu) my keyboard performs well (so I'm able for instance to hit DEL to enter SETUP). When I try to use BCDEDIT Win7 tells me "access denied".

Keyboard Vostro 1320 Only Works Every Other Boot
I have a new vostro 1320 with windows 7 professional installed (not rc or beta) and the keyboard will work fine for the first 10-20 boots. After that (with no new windows updates or driver updates) it will not work upon loading windows. The keyboard does still work in bios and safe mode. After a number of reboots the keyboard may or may not begin working again. Windows also begins to BSOD once the desktop is loaded, every other boot or so error 0x000008E and 7E with file wdf01000.sys. Checked the device manager, says keyboard is working correctly even though no typing comes through. The only driver for keyboard is the generic ps/2 one windows auto-installs (dated 2006 or so). i'm using the laptop on only ac power (battery removed to preserve life while i'm not mobile).Â

Microsoft Elite Bluetooth Keyboard Fails In Dual Boot
when I go from one OS to the other I loose my Microsoft Elite bluetooth keyboard. The mouse always works but not the keyboard. It works in the boot menu and its there in the bluetooth devices in both OS's, the drivers and software but can't be used (connection in use: No). I can set it up each time I switch OS's but its a real problem if you want to dual boot. when I did it with win xp and vista I used my own key and set them up the same in both OS's. I set it up the same as I did before with win 7 but I loose the keyboard when I switch OS.

Wireless Keyboard Failure In Win7 Boot Manager Screen On Startup
Have installed Windows 7 RC on a separate partition to my main XP setup (same physical disk). I am using a Belkin wireless keyboard and mouse, connected to my pc via USB. Both devices worked fine during install and setup of Windows 7, and within the O/S itself. However, the Boot Manager screen is refusing to respond to keyboard input (the bios, which initialises before it has always handled the keyboard fine). This left me unable to select my main XP system on startup. Tried installing the specific drivers but no luck. In the end, I found out how to switch the default option and timeout settings within Windows 7 so I can now get into my XP again, however this means it's now impossible to get back into Windows 7 because I can't do anything in the Boot Manager screen! Anyone had similar issues or have workarounds? Having to buy a cheap wired keyboard seems rather backwards, and this is the first time I've ever had issues with the keyboard not working.

Period Keyboard Lockups / Toshiba Satellite M40 Keyboard
Toshiba PSM30 Satellite Laptop 1.25Gb Ram Centrino 1.5Ghz when using windows 7 on this laptop periodically the keyboard input will freeze - it will freeze for up to two seconds after which the keypresses will "catch up". Ive hunted around for a solution to this and only managed to find a issue for some installs upgrading form winxp... The sugestion here http://www.watchingthenet.com/windows-vista-tip-how-to-fix-slow-keyboard-response-after-upgrade-from-windows-xp.html suggests adding a new regrsitry key which I have done and it has made ZERO difference (its not made it any worse either) At the moment this is making this laptop pretty unusable in that it locks out keyboard input about once every 30 seconds.... Note that this lockout is not tied to any particular program (it even happens in notepad with no other programs running). Ive preorded win7 for this laptop prior to installing the RC, and I am now starting to worry i may not be able to use it on this laptop. if i keep the cpu gadet running "always on top" I can see that when the keyboard input is getting buffered its not the case that the CPU is maxed out at 100% in face i can see it happening when the cpu is running at less than 20 percent. Dunno if this is a driver issue or an issue with my particular hardware setup. This is not the newest laptop but its not the oldest either, and apart from this win7 runs at an ok rate. Memory utilisation is around 45%. Very occasionally when typing it seems that windows will issue an alert sound when the keyboard locks out but its not every time and there is no alert message associated with the sound - all in all its hugely frustrating.

Keyboard Input Causes Audio Skipping, No Keyboard Repeat
I'm having a strange issue with Windows 7, involving keyboard input and audio playback. I find that when I'm typing something (like this message, or anything else) and listening to music through any media player, the audio output skips as I type. There doesn't seem to be a real pattern to it, but it is definitely noticeable skipping only when I'm typing. I also noticed that if I try to use a repeating key function, such as holding down the backspace key, the audio output stops completely, and the key does not repeat; the cursor just hangs until I let go of the key, at which point the music starts playing again too. Is anyone else having this issue?

CD Drive Not Recognized After Reboot
I'm using a Dell laptop Studio XPS 1640. Ok, I was about to upgrade to Windows 7 and it listed a couple of programs that needed to be deleted, so I uninstalled them. The 2nd or 3rd time I was required to restart my computer, it froze at the "Shutting Down..." screen for about 20 minutes. I waited and waited and decided to power down. I turned it back on, and it didnt say Windows was not shut down properly, so i figured it was ok. However when I booted back up, I was going to eject and re-insert the upgrade CD. I hit eject, nothing happens. Hit eject again, nothing happens. I go to Computer to try and view the CD thats in my CD Drive....NOTHING SHOWS UP! MY CD drive is now UNRECOGNIZED by my computer! Now I cant complete the upgrade. Not to mention, the upgrade made me uninstall itunes and my virus protection, saying a new version will be installed automatically after the upgrade.

Mouse Freeze Up Or Is Not Recognized
I have been testing Windows 7 Beta with all of the updates on an Insperion 600m. Surprisingly it worked fine and ran Office 2007. Suddenly my mousepad pointer locked up. I shut the computer down and connected a wireless mouse with no correction to the problem. I shut down a second time and connected a wired mouse and restarted the computer again. Again the mouse was motionless. Beside three dead mice what could be the problem?

Wifi Adapter Not Recognized
I have a problem with Windows 7 Release Candidate (beta rev7100). I have a Linksys Wireless-B (WUSB11V4) network adapter that I use to connect to my wifi router. It works fine under my Windows XP. However, as I installed Win7 beta, I didn't find any way to make it work. Tried to find a driver, but it does not seems to exist for Win7. Tried to install the driver I got with it, but it doesn't seem to work as it's for Windows XP. Tried to make Win7 recognize it by its own ways, but failed. The adapter's a 802.11b. Is that too old for Windows 7? By the way, when I try to plug it out, I hear a sound and when I plug it in again, I hear another one, but it does not seem to be the "hardware recognized" sound. Can anyone help or send a driver for windows 7?

None Of USB Connections Are Recognized
I have just installed Windows 7 32 bit and now none of my USB connections are being recognised. my computer specs are: http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_9301AWSMi_Laptop_LX.AWP0X.008/version.asp Before I installed Windows 7 everything worked fine on XP. I have 3 Maxtor Onetouch 4 external hard drives, a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Even my iphone isnt being found when i plug it in. I get no response from windows when I plug the USB's in. I can hear the external hard drives powering up so it isn't a power issue and I have swapped all of the USB connection leads about and it doesn't make any difference. I've tried all of my hard drives on my friends computer and they all work fine. Ive looked through the forums for answers but cannot seem to find any that work. I have been to the disk manager and device manager and they cant find the USB connections. Ive also been to the Maxtor/Seagate website and non of their walk through seem to work or be applicable to this scenario. Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated as I'm a student and really need to access these external hard drives along with my i-Phone etc (preferably on my own PC).

SATA Drive Not Recognized
I attempted to install win 7 RC to my secondary drive.,which is SATA. After loading the drivers from FLOPPY, i was able to install the files onto the drive. After 1st reboot, the machine went into an endless look rebooting. I am assuming that after that reboot, it lost the drivers for the sata drive. my primary drive is IDE. The only way I got to install 7 was empty a partition on my ide drive. This OS does not look ready for prime time, not even a little.
