None of the equipment is new,

The board is 3 years old
The usb mouse 2 years old
The ps2 keyboard 7 years old

They both work in fine in a windows environment

Thanks

So I am still new to Linux world, so if I have missed something simple feel free to point it out..

I download the LinuxMCE 8.10 iso burned it a DVD and booted up on the machine I hope to turn into my MCE core. The "Kubuntu" menu Screen come up and I selected my Language, in my case English.

I then choose the "LinuxMCE"

The system then begins to work away, until a window like screen pops up asking me to select my language, but the keyboard nor the mouse work, all I can do is reset my system. 

The keyboard works fine on that first screen, I checked my cd for defects and tested my memory, both of which are fine.

Windows is currently installed in the machine I hope to convert
Its an AMD 1.8 mgz machine with a gig of ram on  a Gigabyte KBV800M board
The keyboard and mouse work in the windows environment.

Also when I try the option of trying Kubuntu without any changes to my system, Kubuntu never loads, I think I get to the main screen (not familiar with Kubuntu) but no option load, just a decorative backsplah.

Any Ideas?
Chris
