have you put batteries in them? My wireless keyboard and mouse use AA cells.

You probably need to use the old PS/2 keyboard and then go into the BIOS and enable USB keyboard and legacy USB support.

Always keep a PS/2 keyboard you never know when you may need
to access that BIOS.

ok done all that and it worked fine. untill i shutdown. now only the keyboard works but the mouse now wont. the batteries are charged up tho, i dont understand one minute it was working and the next it's stopped. wat happened???

Click a button. Maybe it has gone into power saving mode. Wireless mice go to sleep to save the batteries which run down fast, much faster than the ones in the keyboard. My el-cheapo Trust wireless "desk set" has this really annoying mouse that hibernates after about 30 secs of inactivity, and you have to click a button to wake it up. It came with 2 NiMH rechargeable AA cells and a power/charging wire that plugs into the wireless "base station" but even in this mode it goes to sleep. It is a pain in the @ss. Also it is ugly and looks stupid on the desk. I hate it and I went back to my USB mouse with a wire on it and I just use the keyboard, which I really like, in which the batteries last about 6 months.

If you gave us the maker and model, we could go to the maker's web site and read the troubleshooting hints, since you seem unable to do that yourself?
