Character Repeat Broken, ZA events

[Nehmo Sergheyev]

Win XP Home SP1, ZA Pro v 5.5.062.000, Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG

(I already posted earlier about this in an XP NG but didn't solve the
problem yet. I crossposted this to and
. There was a storm outside and
the machine, usually constantly on, had turned off. After I booted up, I
noticed the problems.)

I can't get Character Repeat to work. I tried the settings in Control
Panel > Keyboard > Properties to no avail. Accessibility Options are not
checked. In the BIOS, Advanced BIOS settings, I have Typematic disabled.
I believe that's the default, and I tired Enabled too.

I also noticed the printer didn't work, but I repaired by reinstalling
the USB controller, Standard Enhanced PCI uo USB Host Controller. (I
rightclicked on My Computer > Manage > Device Manager > Universal Serial
Bus controllers). The printer now works.


In the Event Viewer (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event
Viewer) there are some errors and warnings:

Under System:

What's wrong, and how do I fix things?

Might be a simple solution - like replacing the keyboard. Since
they're inexpensive, might be worth a try. A keyboard can be easily
damaged or the circuitry on your motherboard that controls the
keyboard could have taken a hit.

I don't think so. The keyboard works otherwise and a bad keyboard
wouldn't explain the event errors.

Lightning strike or surge relating to power being off then on fries
motherboard controller and/or hard disk/controller.
Run manufacturers utility from dos or in its own environment to determine if
hard disk is faulty. If so replace and copy. Otherwise junk motherboard. You
might try memory testing utitilites whilst you've doing all this, but I
don't think it's that.
