ok so I was on my second computer and I turned off USB legacy support to run memtest.

problem is I use a USB keyboard and now it doesn't work.... I had a ps2 keyboard that i was gonna use but that doesn't work either.

Is there anyway to turn on the USB Legacy support in my situation?

I have an Asus M2N-E mobo.

- Borrow another PS2 keyboard?
- Factory reset the BIOS via jumper?

Turning USB Legacy off in bios only cause the usb devices to not work under DOS as that allow the computer to emulate usb devices under DOS. You should be able to get the usb keyboard to work in Windows and under the bios. If you plug the usb device into the system the first time and Windows is password protected.. then that will be a problem.

WOT??

My USB Keyboard works during the POST no matter what.. if the option is selected off in the BIOS then my keyboard will not work after the POST. Best bet would be to find a PS2 keyboard (or an adapter)..
