      I completely agree. 

      My wife's wireless keyboard will usually let me access BIOS, but sometimes it won't...

      You don't have to spend a lot, as Patio suggests -- in fact, I've had advanced keyboards that plug into the PS/2 port or the USB port, but they Windows - driven:  they rely on the operating system itself to drive the keyboard, so you're still stuck if you're trying to access the computer at a point where the operating system loads.

      A basic keyboard in the price range should work just fine.

      Help me.  I seem to be having a similar problem.  I have been forced to attempt to reinstall my windows xp.    Why? Well, something went wrong because after the windows xp logo-loading screen would appear, the screen would go blank. 

      OK, so now I am trying to reinstall my xp and after reading the agreement it tells me to hit f8 to accept.  When I do that, nothing happens.  Other keys do seem to work, when I hit escape it reboots.  What can be wrong?  I am trying to reinstall my xp and after reading the agreement it tells me to hit f8 to accept.  When I do that, nothing happens.  Other keys do seem to work, when I hit escape it reboots.  What can be wrong?
