I've got the best one for you guys. My PS2 ports stopped working on my mobo. I bought a USB keyboard and it works fine after windows loads. I would like to get into my bios to check some settings, but the key to do that is F12, but the Flock doesn't come on till windows boots. My only thought is I would have to buy a new USB keyboard that has the Fkeys as a default, but I bought this board because most of the USB keyboards were fairly expensive. Any ideas?

Extra Info: I've got a Gigabyte KT333 mobo with the sytem disk which includes a bios utility. I haven't messed with it for fear of screwing something up, but it does have what it calls a bios flash utility. I don't need to do anything drastic to my machine, but my soundcard, a USB and my vid card are all on the same spot and I think it is causing problems with BF1942. All the lower games run fine, but BF seems to hang up occasionally when I get lots of sound and polys at the same time.

Part of the problem might be the BIOS settings itself - most default to configuring USB devices as controled by OS and not BIOS, hence, until Windows starts to boot, the won't do squat.
