Yeh, had the same with my G11 on the old pc, just plug the ps2 in and enable usb in bios. The new pc however didn't have this problem, I guess the mbo recognized it immediatly.. :O)
If you run wires from the positive and negative terminals of a car battery to your nipples, sexy time ensues. I assume the same is true for keyboards and usb ports.
I think he just needs to know how to get a safeboot. Read my comment up and follow that path, the V is a checked box. Uncheck the box if you want to boot normal again. No need for holding special buttons at boot.
safe mode basically means windows boots the essential running files.
This means no Graphic drivers, sound drivers, network controllers, and most services are not loaded, i would imagine the usb controllers wont boot in safe mode either, unless u speficied it too, hense ur no usb support.
using the USB - ps/2 convertor should work, in theory, but hey its a PC, its made to be awkward.GL
Or maybe im stupid?.. -.-
EDIT: Or i think it dont work.. Use old keyboard with the plug :)
ive had some mouse probs, i hope its not cuz of a bad mobo :'(
fixed your mouseprob by now ?...?
just use a ps2 kb for this once?
but its a suggestion otherwise he might need to go buy a ps2 keyboard
i've got g15 and you can't use it in safe mode :O
