mouse wont work during install

tlf · 11-01-2008, 06:34 PM

hi
i'm installing XP pro on my newly purchased SATA hardrive. Motherboard by "Gigabyte."
everything was going smoothly but after getting all the way to the Regional and Language settings, i realize my mouse wont work! i cant click NEXT!
i'd had a host of other little issues and thought that i was finally home free. looks like CAPS LOCK wont light up on my keyboard so perhaps that doesn't work either. i tried another mouse and i've tried all the other USB ports and nothing....
i dont want to turn off/on and go into the BIOS yet cuz i dont want to mess up this install. but i guess i might have to do something in there with the BIOS settings, but figured i'd hold off on going there till i got some advice.

thanks!

thanks again for your help.
