Full Version: Keyboard (and Mouse/trackpad) Not Recognized Error

Hey guys,

Just installed Snow Leopard using the most recent version of the MyHack installer package. It seems to be up and running OK, but it doesn't recognize my laptop's keyboard, trackpad, or any USB keyboards/mice I plug into it, with the exception of a friend's official Apple keyboard -- that seemed to work, and when I plugged in a mouse through the keyboard, it worked as well. When I plug mice into the computer proper, nothing happens, and when I plug in keyboards, a dialog comes up telling me that the keyboard cannot be recognized, and that I need to complete some sort of wizard -- which I can't, because I don't have a working mouse. Any idea how I could fix this?

For reference, my computer is an HP Pavilion dv9700 -- specs:

I'm not sure about the chipset, but I think it's some sort of Intel?
Nvidia 8600M GS
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750, 2.00 GhZ
4GB of RAM
Shipped with Vista 64 -- I'm going to dual-boot


I really appreciate any help you can give me. I'm new at this and pretty puzzled. Thanks in advance!
