So lately, I've been finally upgrading my computer slightly. I don't want to spend too much since I'll be building a new one in the next few months, so I figured I'd just get some small upgrades that won't break the bank. I decided to get a new wireless keyboard/mouse combo as the main upgrade, since I'm still using an old 90's wired keyboard and ball mouse. I brought it home and plugged it in. The light on the receiver did not go on. I wondered if my USB port was bad, so I put my external hard drive in that slot and it worked fine. I tried placing the receiver in all of my different USB ports and it never worked. Since my computer is almost 5 years old, I assumed it might not be running because all my USBs were probably 1.1. So I went out and picked up an Adaptec USB 2.0 PCI adapter and threw it in. I plugged in my hard drive and receiver and neither of them worked. The computer read them as USB 2.0 devices but would not work with them. It just searched for their drivers, which neither of them need. After all of this, I wondered if my motherboard couldn't support 2.0. So I checked around and from the looks of it, my motherboard will support 2.0. That being said, I decided to update my BIOS. I got the right file from the manufacturer's website and tried to flash it. It gave me the error: "the program file's part number does not match with your system." I assume that this is because I have the wrong file? But that can't be since I got the right one from the manufacturer's site. Am I going in the right direction for my USB problem, or am I missing something else? If I am going in the right direction, what is the problem I am having when I try to flash my BIOS?
