When I last rebooted my computer, my keyboard drivers have
mysteriously disappeared. I am using an HP Pavillion with Windows XP
Home edition. I have both a wireless USB keyboard and the original PS/
2 keyboard and neither are working.
The mouse works, but when I click on the "Owner" icon to login, I
cannot type my password, so I cannot login. The keyboard does not
light up when pressing CAPSLOCK or NumLock either.
I can login to a GUEST account, because that does not require a
password. When I go to the Control Panel from the GUEST account, I
can see that there is no driver installed for the keyboard. But it
won't let me add hardware from this login because it is not an
administrator. And I cannot login as administrator because I cannot
type a password! I can see the file kbdclass.sys in C:\Windows
\System32\drivers.
Also, it is an HP computer and did not come with boot CDs. I have
tried several reboots, both with and without the keyboard plugged in.
Can anyone please help? Is there something I can do from the GUEST
login without administrator rights?
