As always, I turned my computer off last night... And this morning, as I turned it on, I noticed how it wouldn't move past the first screen. I guess the best way to describe the 'first screen' is the screen that shows what motherboard you use and what chip... For ex. "Velocity Micro... Intel" And then at the bottom it has the options to press 'del' or 'tab'.. but the keyboard isn't yet activated, so that's out of question. It seems frozen at that stage.. I checked for viruses a few days back and nothing came up.. I also tried restarting multiple times. Any suggestions?
Step 1: Follow the link in "Resources," below, to the boot program that is compatible with the Windows 95 operating system and includes the service pack upgrades. Download the executable file to your computer's desktop. Step 2: Double-click the executable file. Insert a floppy disk into your computer's floppy disk drive and click "OK." Step 3: Click "Yes" to erase any data on the floppy disk and replace it with the Windows 95 boot-up information. Step 4: Eject the disk from the disk drive. Check the bottom of the floppy disk to see if it has a "write only" tab. Push the plastic tab into the "locked" position to prevent any of the boot data from being overwritten with any other files. Step 5: Put the disk back into the drive. Restart your computer to load the Windows 95 operating system from the bootable disk instead of from your computer's hard drive.
Keyboard not activated? USB keyboard or wireless keyboard? You need to get into BIOS with "del" to reset something. Try turning off the computer and unplug the power supply and reset your CMOS on your motherboard. Reboot and see what happen. Try removing any other USB connecting to the computer and reboot to see what happen also.
Keyboard isn't activated as in it doesn't turn on. It's a USB. What will resetting the CMOS do? Sidenote: Not using '95.. lol. Windows 7. Sidenote2: Currently on library computer. Not my own. Hopefully this was obvious.
It should clear or reset your BIOS and hopefully clear some problem. If it still doesn't boot up I suggest opening up your computer and check the inside to see if everything is secure and plug in properly? How recently did you get this computer and was it put together by you or at the computer shop? OR else try plugging the USB in the back of the motherboard and not in the front of the case if you haven't done so. OR else you need to pick up an old keyboard with PS/2 connector if you need to get into your bios.
Okay, I'll try that as soon as I get home. The computer is about 2 years old. It's never had any problems. And if resetting CMOS doesn't work, I'll take your suggestion with the PS/2 keyboard to see what's up myself. Hopefully I can still get my hands on one haha. Thanks!
You could have a bad usb try one of the other ones. Reset the bios, but if you can't pst you need to replace the flash chip on the motherboard if it socketed or if its soldered get a new board unless you are great at soldering have a really awesome iron.
