What version of Bootcamp did you use?
They keyboard and mighty mouse should work fine with the latest version.
And also make sure your firmware updates are all up to date.

The latest version of Bootcamp
Btw, i didn't check my firmware version before i installed
I bought the iMac not more than two weeks , i think its the latest firmware
I think the usb ports behind the iMac is not functioning..
It won't work when i plug in any devices..
GOSH
My Mac drivers cd still stuck inside the iMac doh.gif

grats on your latest iMac.
But just because your iMac is new and out of the box, doesn't mean the firmware is up to date. I'm guessing it could be a firmware issue, or even old drivers provided by the latest version of bootcamp.

Could I have some more details of your iMac? like processor speed, OSX version, firmware version? Then I could look into the problem for ya.

*EDIT* I'm seeing multiple post of the same problem you are facing in the Official Support Forums:
http://tinyurl.com/337vck. Try looking around the threads to see if there is a solution.

Did you read the support forums that I mentioned earlier in my previous post?
It doesn't seem like a rare case from the amount of post on the forums, but
try and see if a normal wired keyboard and wired mouse combo works better for you.

still drooling. 24" >>> 15"

Actually i posted a thread there but nobody seems answering me
I searched at the forums too but can't get any solution
I think the problem is the firmware causes the installation of drivers to be corrupted
I didn't upgrade my firmware to the latest
Maybe the drivers' files are corrupted or wat.. cry.gif
iMac doesn't come with plug for PS2 keyboard n mouse.. I can't do anything without the mouse n keyboard
So when i start my iMac , everything go fine besides i can't move my mouse n keyboard
I jz sit there n wait the leaves to fall sweat.gif

Jz connecto APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE and download whatever updates applicable to your iMAC / OSX and see whether it solves the problem.

Or dump Windows...who needs Windows when you have a wonderful OSX ;-p

I must clarify something 1st..
The MOST important thing now is i can't even move my mouse n keyboard..
So, that means i can't even do a thing..
My USB ports are not working..
I can't type a word n move my mouse in my iMac
So how am I going to log on Apple web to update my firmware? doh.gif
