keyboard mystery

[Guest]

Okay, as I pride myself at being a computer technician and advanced windows
user here is my problem.
I have windows XP with SP2 I have been using my Microsoft natural elite
keyboard with this system for a year now. The keyboard all of a sudden
stopped working in windows. You ask yourself how I know this, the keyboard
works fine when I boot up to my bios page also while booting system keys
light up as they should. Thinking maybe the keyboard is bad, it works on
another system fine and my backup keyboard works on other systems but when
plugged into this system nada. I unplug keyboard from PS/2 port on MB the
system gives a keyboard error like it should. When window’s finally loads no
keyboard activity at all no lights nothing. Went to device manager there is a
yellow “!†right before the device name “standard 101/102-key or Microsoft
natural ps/2 keyboard†which is what my keyboard is. Also on properties under
device status it says “device cannot start error code (10)†looked this up on
Microsoft’s site did what was suggested. Said to uninstall, reboot and will
be fixed, right did not happen. Guys and gals I am typing this with a mouse
using virtual keyboard and this has to end. I asked god and he sent me here
please help me.

instead?
