Need help with installing Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and mouse

[ecineko]

Hi Guys,
I am new to Ubunto but I love it. I am using 10.10. Recently I bought microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard and was hoping during bootup, system will recognise the usb adapter and install necessary drivers. It didnot, So now everytime, I switch my machine on, i first have to take the usb adapter out and then it boots, plu back the adapter back in and after that I am able to do use keyboard and mouse. It is just an irritant to plug out and plug in the usb adapter eveytime during system start. Also i have problems with system getting frozen quite often. Please help with the fix

How's your problem?

I suggest divide your issues into two threads. One each for the keyboard:

the adapter back in and after that I am able to do use keyboard and mouse. It is just an irritant to plug out and plug in the usb adapter eveytime during system star

And one of for the freezing:

Also i have problems with system getting frozen quite often.

Good luck!

I have the Microsoft wireless Keyboard/Mouse and it worked out of the box for me. The multimedia and extra functions keys don't work yet but that's fixable I'm using Gentoo. I suggest you check your BIOS to make sure everything to do with USB is enabled.

My Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse worked out of the box too, so perhaps your problem is not the keyboard or mouse.
