USB Priority

Vista Ultimate
I am having problems with my USB MS 8000 kbd and mouse and wonder if there
is a way to set the USB priority of this interface to the top level?
How to do?
Where can I see what USB devices are set up?

Re: USB Priority

When I plug in a thumb drive or other USB device, the mouse and keyboard are
locked out until Windows decides to let me have it back. This can take from
several seconds to minutes.
Windows Vista Ultimate
All USB interfaces are on the motherboard. There is no USB hub involved.

Re: USB Priority

You don't say what type of mouse and keyboard you are using. Are they PS/2
or USB?

It's pretty damned obvious that they are USB. If not from the most
recent post that talks about all USB ports on the machine, then the
original post where the OP specifically states that it is "USB MS 8000
kbd and mouse" (all visible here).

Reading (and comprehending) is a skill that you need to spend some
time developing.
