Vista - Can modify BIOS with USB keyboard but not select OS in BootManager

My ASUS A7S333 motherboard recognizes key presses on my Microsoft wireless
USB keyboard to enter and modify the BIOS, whether the Legacy USB setting is
enabled or disabled. Once the boot manager starts, (I dual boot with XP), I
have to use my old legacy PS/2 keyboard to select which OS I want to run.

Can you enhance the boot manager to recognize the USB keyboards?

Actually it does recognize the USB keyboard. I had to wait for the *wireless*
devices to sync up first.

for USB keyboards to work properly in dos related programs like the boot manager you need to enable Legacy USB in your BIOS settings.
