Code 41

P

Pilgrim

I am using wxp service pack2. I recently uninstalled spy sweeper, on restart
my keyboard was locked out. In device manager a code 41 was reported. The
problem is, with no usable keyboard, I cannot now log on to my account as it
is password protected. There are other accounts on the pc but not
administrator. Is there any way that I can get into my administrator account
to try to resolve the keyboard issue?

You could try to get in via Safe Mode. If this does not work
then a manual System Restore may be required - see here:

A different type keyboard might also let you in again, e.g. a
PS/2 keyboard if you currently use a USB keyboard.

You can easily avoid this type of problem by planning ahead
and creating a second admin account, same as you have at
least two sets of keys for your car.
