Can't get machine to accept CTRL+ALT+DEL keystroke

[Greg]

I have a W2K machine that gets to the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen
and then will not accept the keystrokes. I thought it
might be a bad keyboard so I replaced it with a known
good keyboard and it still will not accept the
CTRL+ALT+DEL keystroke to allow be to complete the log on
process. The keyboard is functioning because I can hit F8
at startup to bring up the options screen and once it gets
to the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen hitting <enter> brings up the
help for that, so I know the keyboard is functioning
properly. Has anyone ever had this problem or have any
ideas on what might be causing this to happen.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide
