Just to clarify the problem a little, I tried booting from the Windows XP
setup disk again a couple of times. I first tried the Automated System
Recovery - the computer froze almost as soon as this was selected. I then let
the computer try to boot up from the CD - it went through the process of
loading drivers OK but again froze when it tried to load start Windows.
I even tried another startup in Safe Mode - the screen showed command lines
referring to drivers but stopped when it reached
"Windows/system32/drivers/Mup.sys" Coincidently the "Num Lock" on the
keyboard went out at the same time.
Does this help focus in on the problem?
