Haohmaru Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi, I am able to finish the install (mouse and keyboard work fine throughout) and get to the OSX desktop, but that's it. Once I'm there, the mouse doesn't work It just sits there on the top left hand corner of the screen. The keyboard doesn't seem to work either. No combination of ALT, TAB, SPACE or ENTER will do anything. Thanks for your help!

Haohmaru Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 So no one else has experienced this? I'll have to find a copy of Workstation 5.5, it must be this new free server edition.

Rarmander Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Is your mouse or keyboard usb? I have heard from some of the people on another message board that their usb mice and keyboards do not work after install too. They say also that when they boot into -v that it will say the usb devices have errors. If they are usb, try using a non-usb keyboard and mouse, if you have one.
