No mouse or keyboard with Live CD
When booting to the live cd, I have keyboard function enough to choose the proper entry to load os. The os starts loading and I can use keyboard to choose language, keyboard etc. About the time it gets to what time zone I'm in, it freezes. No mouse and no keyboard. I have tried this with both Ubuntu 10.04 and Mint 10. My hdd with Windows XP works fine. There are a lot of complaints and requests for help on the 'Net about this but no answers. I have Mint 10 on my main computer and have used Ubuntu for a year or so, meaning I have been able to load and use them with no problems. I have scoured my BIOS for any changes needed and can't find any. Neither USB nor PS2 keyboards or mice work. I have seen some posts about editing xorg.conf or the grub but how can I do that when I have no control after a second or two. Little help?

You can try editting/removing commands from GRUB when you see the countdown, press the esc key or any key.
See this link....you want to try something like adding acpi=off to the end of the kernel line. This may or may not work and a simple reboot will change everything back.
