Cannot complete Windows 7 Install - Mouse/Keyboard not working

Hi all,
I have scoured the Internet and Apple support forums, and I can find no solution to this problem. If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful.
I have a brand new 27" iMac. When I try to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp, everything appears to work fine, until I get to the first Windows install screen. This is the screen where it asks what language you would like to use, etc. The problem is I can't get past this screen because there is no keyboard or mouse functionality. There is no curser on the screen, and no buttons work.
I have tried the bluetooth set that came with my computer, as well as a separate USB set. I have tried plugging and unplugging the USB while at that screen.
I have tried loading Windows 7 from the DVD and from the ISO on a memory stick. I have downloaded the support software automatically and manually.
I am an experienced Mac user, and I have done everything I can think of, but I am at a loss.
Please help!
Thanks

I have seen a few others now with this problem, but no real solutions.
I contacted apple care, and after running me through the same fixes I had already tried, they suggested that I contact Microsoft. I guess that the thought is that it's an issue with the Windows 7 install program not recognizing the BlueTooth. This doesn't make any sense to me, but I might as well try it.
I will update if I ever discover a solution. Please let me know if you are able to resolve the problem.
Thanks

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

Bluetooth m.mouse & keyboard not working in Boot Camp on XP

I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but it's doing my head in.
I recently installed Windows XP (SP2) on Boot Camp, the mouse and keyboard had worked fine, and I was able to hold down Option key to choose prefered OS on startup no problem. I then tried to connect to my work network to use the internet (and operate stuff) to discover that I needed to download network drivers. I figured out I needed to insert OSX install DVD and follow the prompts, which I did, setup wizard was enacted and the drivers were (I believe) downloaded.
After restarting the computer I've discovered that I'm now unable to use the bluetooth mighty mouse OR keyboard! I've tried plugging in a USB PC mouse, but that's still not working. So I tried restarting and holding down the option key in the hope of switching back to OSX, but I can't even do that! everytime I restart it goes straight to Windows XP, I've tried several times, pressing the Option key at different points of the restart phase to try and get to the choice screen, but to no avail.
I have a new(ish) 27" Apple iMac running OSX Snow Leapord
Any help appreciated

I've been able to source a PC USB keyboard (along with the mouse), but still unable to get any response from the computer. Doesn't seem to matter if they're plugged in before I restart in windows either.

Custom kernel (2.6.31) - USB Mouse & Keyboard not working [solved]

So I've just recompiled the new kernel (2.6.31) as a custom, as is my custom!
USB Mouse and keyboard no worky (but do as PS/2).
As a quick thing to check - what kernel .config settings haven't I enabled properly? A quick check though and everything SEEMS to be in order.
The stock 2.6.31 kernel works fine with the USB inputs.
Thanks in advance.
[solved] I realised I was operating off an older kernel26 package (2.6.30), so synching abs and rebuilding using the 2.6.31 package and leaving a few more stock options enabled, seems to have worked.

sry, idk how to get the error output of a compiled package via mkpkg. i know its a weird error...
has anyone tryed to open my kerenel configuration with a graphical cofiguration font end, and to see if the 3945 wireless module is marked as module? when i do it its not aviable. maybe today ill find some time to do the config and compile...
my arch: x86 ; core duo; pentium m (kernel-processor-type); -march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
yeah, config from testing *.31 works fine, but the job needs to be done to strip out all useless stuff out of that general kernel

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

The "automatic Install" in the windows support software does not work. I cannot see the USB in Windows to manually start set up.
I have downloaded windows support software from Apple 3 time with the same result. Where can I get a clean copy of the Windows support software?

Did you correctly format your usb stick in accordance with the Boot Camp installation instructions? Go here to the Boot Camp System Requirements page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, look for your computer model/year and download the correct version of Windows Support software.

Portg R500 - Blue Screen and keyboard mouse are not working

Hi All,
I am using windows XP, well I was not any more due to below problem.
Laptop blue screened and now any time it goes to windows xp screen blue screen comes and reboot the system. Its not working in safe mode at all. Keyboard any mouse are not working. I cannot even go to BIOS.
I tried to plug a USB keyboard but still its same. I cannot even boot from CD.
Please could some one advise what do I need to do in order to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
How you can test it in safe mode if keyboard doesnt work? I mean before Windows starts you have to press F8 key and then go down to select safe mode. Therefore you need the keyboard
In your case I would try to remove the battery and AC/DC adapter for at least one hour. Then connect both devices again and make sure battery is fully charged. Start your notebook and try accessing the BIOS setup and load the default settings.
If Windows doesnt start you have to do a recovery installation I think. Some Windows files might be muddled up

My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

"This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
Keep us posted.

Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
Yes.
Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
Reseat is also good.
The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
Never an issue.
Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
Want cheaper, try this:

The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
OS X has native NEC chipset USB support.

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. Try making the device a favorite .

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Does the keyboard work fine inside the BIOS?
Also try booting from LiveCD of Ubuntu, if issue remains then the keyboard is faulty.
Keep us informed.
