I'm with a previous suggestion, just unplug the original keyboard.Įdit: Posted as you were editing that last one. When you pair the keyboard with the dongle, it works with it's own bluetooth connection and should work without Windows being booted and using it's Bluetooth, so then you could access the bios. Your DiNovo Edge should have come with a dongle as well. Thanks for the tips though, i appreciate any help :) I look, unlike other devices, it won't allow me to simply disable the keyboard.

I can't access the BIOS at all because I can't press the Esc key at boot. Unfortunately, my bluetooth keyboard is software-driver based, and only functions from within Windows. Please note that because my two keyboards are fighting eachother for control, I really can only use the mouse. How do I permanently uninstall the keyboard, and prevent it from reinstalling itself?

While I've always loved this plug-and-play feature of Windows 7, ironically, it's causing me issues now. I've tried uninstalling the PS/2 keyboard device, and it works, but then on reboot, it installs the driver over again. The problem is though that the keyboard still is sticky somewhere inside and is pressing random keys whenever I type using my bluetooth keyboard (a DiNovo Edge, if you're wondering). The good news is that I have a Tablet PC stand, a bluetooth keyboard, and a wireless mouse, so I can essentially use it as a desktop when its in tablet mode. So basically, I'm stuck with this laptop and its sticky keyboard for around a month before I can get it sent in and repaired. Unfortunately, to prevent people from abusing the system, that insurance has a "cooldown" period of 30 days, in which I cannot use the Accidental Damage warranty.

Fortunately, a few days back, I purchased Accidental Damage insurance from HP. I love it to pieces, but I accidentally spilled coffee (with sugar) all over the keyboard the other morning. Well, this is a bit of an odd request, so let me add some background information.
