WRONG! At reboot Now I get AMI BIOS screen, with:CMOS/GPNV checksum bad. On advice of other forum I was told to unplug AC, pull batt, hold power button 15 sec, replace batt, powerup to reset default BIOS. It did something, my onscreen kbd gained colored boarders, but also had msg that it couldnt install.

Scanned to get MoBo info, Used AMI flash Bios utility. Used adapter to plug into old school round socket. In control Panel/keyboard nothing listed. Also, My USB memstick is not listed in My PC, and usb kbd not listed in Hardware mgr at all. I fired up my old no-name tower, XP started but the USB keyboard didnt work.
