If more than one device is listed, boot to Safe Mode > Device Manager and
"Uninstall" all devices listed in "Keyboards", otherwise continue in your normal
desktop.
In "Device Manager" expand "Keyboards".
Right click on the listed device and click "Uninstall" in the popup menu.
Close out of Device Manager back to your desktop.

Open either Explorer or MyComputer.
Expand to and delete the contents of:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username Folder\Local Settings\Temp
Click once in the right pane.
Press ctrl+a.
Press the Delete key.

C:\Windows\Temp
Click once in the right pane.
Press ctrl+a.
Press the Delete key.

C:\Windows\Prefetch
Click once in the right pane.
Press ctrl+a.
Press the Delete key.

Close out of Explorer/MyComputer back to your desktop and reboot.
Windows should redetect the USB Keyboard and reinstall drivers for it.
