Hi, 
I saw the first email, and I really don't have an answer.  The only 
thing I can do is recall that there were people in the list talking 
about issues with USB keyboards and mice.  I wonder if the equivalent of 
an unplug/replug of your keyboard and mouse is causing problems.  The 
people with issues were talking about a setting in the BIOS for legacy 
support for USB keyboards, or something like that.  My only suggestion 
is to look for such an option and see if it helps...

Sorry I can't really help more.
