Connecting wireless mouse and keyboard to new system

I am upgrading and have a new CPU to install and I am using an existing VDU.
When I start up the CPU a pop-up screen on the VDU says, ’Detected new hardware’ (VDU). I have no way of cancelling this pop-up screen because my wireless mouse and my wireless keyboard are obviously not yet connected. I cannot connect them because the pop-up screen is frozen waiting for my decision to ‘Cancel’ or click ‘Next’. Can you help me please? I am using XP and have had no trouble with my wireless mouse and keyboard on my existing system. Geoff Stokes, melbourne Australia.

Thanks for your quick and helpful response. However, I do not have a wired keyboard/mouse that I can use. I realise I can go out and buy one. I have tried connecting the wireless keyboard/mouse before the VDU is connected but this doesn't work. cheers! Geoff.

Hi Tech 8
Thanks for your advice but to get into the cmos screen I have to press and I don't have a keyboard to do this. A "catch22" situation if ever there was one! Both neghbours have laptops! However, tomorrow (Monday) the local school will lend me a wired keyboard/mouse. Again thnks for your advice. Geoff.

Hi everyone
OK, I managed to borrow a wired keyboard and mouse from the local High School and within five minutes I was up and running. My Wireless keyboard and mouse are now installed and I am enjoying my CPU update. Thank you to everyone who helped me, and your thoughts and advice are very much appreciated. Thanks again; who knows, maybe I can help one of you one day in return. Cheers. Geoff.

Just plug in a keyboard/mouse while upgrading sound like the best bet

If you are setting up a new Box hard drive and all, or even just changing major hardware you will need wired control because wireless device drivers are searched for after basic config is reached

Cheers Geoff, keyboard/mouse is the only option that I can see, let us know how you get on when "your cup is full".
