Wired Keyboard goes OFF can't select Ubuntu

[mercedesk]

I've just installed the new 11.04 of Ubuntu. And when I restart my computer, I'm given only a few seconds to choose Windows 7 or Ubuntu, I can't choose because my WIRED keyboard is OFF!

I don't get it, it's not supposed to go off when it's wired. My mouse is also wired. Do I need to install drivers for them? They're both plug and play.

My system is... WIRELESS Internet - Desktop - Windows 7 Professional - 64bit - Dual core processor, 1tr drive.

Can someone help with this, I really want to give the new Ubuntu a go.

I had this problem a few years ago and the problem was the Logitek keyboard.If when you turn it on first the Numlock light does not come on then you will need to find a different keyboard that the numlock light does come on to select the OS you want
