usb input devices

[polar]

Does anyone have problems with toontown and usb keyobards/mice on windows 98? I can go inot tontown and as long as i keep moving the mouse around, it's ok, but as soon as i stop interacting, the keybaord and mouse are no longer detected. USB mode for dos is enabled in bios. I have tried installing drivers and what not, but to no avail.

Note, this is on the second rig with k7s5a mobo. Will check keyboard on main rig

Polar,

A couple questions if the answer is yes to each one, go to the next. If no, then heck if I know

1. Is the USB port built in to the motherboard?

2. Does the board have a Via chipset in it?

3. Was it built sometime in 2001 (approximately)?

The basic problem is that circa 2001 via chipsets and onboard ports on MBs don't play too nicely together either at all, or as in your case, in some applications. The only reliable solution that I've found after a lot of searching through troubleshooting and tech support is a USB to something else adapter (in my case USB to mouse port).
