Hi,

Can anyone help?
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 along side Windows XP but I have never been
able to return to Windows as the cursor on the Grub page will not move!
I have checked it on the BIOS page and it does move still. My existing
set up has worked with Windows for some yours.

Regards

I've seen this recently on a PC.  Are you using a USB keyboard?

I found that enabling USB Legacy mode (sometimes I think it's referred to as USB Keyboard and Mouse) then it should work. I think it's basically when the machine starts it won't pick up the USB keyboard in Grub unless you set enable the legacy devices mode.

Hope this helps.

Rob
