do i need to reisntall xp? :@

[Guest]

I've been having problems with my keyboard for the last few months and NO ONE
has been able to help. I've bought 3 other keyboards to test and neitehr of
them will work. Furthermore they all work at the first screen when one
restarts the computer, where you click delete to enter BIOS or f8 to go into
safe mode. Therefore I'm concluding (and I could be wrong? please share
opinions) that there is some kinda conflict somewhere. In this case if I
reisntall windows would that fix the problem? Someone I dont know well told
me this could lead to lots of problems if my keyboard isnt working,
reinstalling can be really difficult and I might need to take it to a store
etc etc. Can ANYONE advise? I've had this problem for motnhs and it doesnt
look like its going anywhere.


Oh btw just to add: earlier on if the keyboard was even connected to the
computer when windows started, the mouse wouldnt work either. I deleted the
keyboard in control panel, since then if its connected to the computer its
fine (and the mouse is fine too) but as soon as i press any button on the
keyboard not only will it not work but the mouse will also freeze. can anyone
explain what could be going on, and if i have any options besides
reinstalling?

thanks guys

So you tried both PS2 and USB connectors and neither work?
