Option key not working to choose OS on startup
Works great in OSX, works some of the time in random user accounts in XP. Sometimes the keyboard will not type on the login screen and the mouse will work. I'll click a guest account and then the keyboard will work inside, then both mouse and keyboard will freeze if I switch accounts. But not every time. I hypothesized the user account might be stealing the device and not allowing other accounts to manipulate it?
Most annoying is the option key will not trigger an OS selection on boot. I tried the keyboard in a usb hub and directly into the back of the iMac and neither way makes much difference. Thing is it's random what works and what doesn't. Should I try running the Bootcamp setup again from the Leopard disk? New driver disk?
One other thing I thought of, the previous keyboard was bluetooth - should I perhaps make sure XP isn't still polling for BT?
