Keyboard Failure at Login

[Brett Thurman]

Hi, I'm running Windows XP and whenever I try to boot, my keyboard
does not work. It works fine in BIOS, but as soon as windows boots
up, it stops working. It's a ps/2 keyboard, and I've tried several
other keyboards, but none of them have worked. The system is a p3-450
MHz, and has > 256 MB of RAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Considering that the keyboard is working fine and since you told it is
working fine in bios. Check if you can login to Safe Mode. Press F8 after
the post test and beforeWindows starts. Once Windows starts loading,
you've missed it and will have to try again. Once you have logged in Safe
mode see if the keyboard works fine.
Go to control panel -> Open System -> select Hardware -> open device
manager and check if you have any conflicts on keyboard driver settings is
okay.
Think this should solve the issue.

Hope it helps!
