system is xps 350 running windows xp, memory 768
New wireless keyboard won't function in the "windows advanced options menu". I hit f8 at start up (it works) and get to the menu page. "Start up windows normally" is highlighted, but when I hit enter nothing happens. If I try to use the arrow keys to highlight a different function nothing moves.

As an experiment I rebooted and entered the bios. Here the keys functioned properly. Again the keyboard works fine in windows proper.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, Jimbos
