Im sure this sounds weird but its true. Just recently this started to happen. Whenever I boot-up with both keyboard and mouse hooked in, Windows does not recognize either and I am left without any control of the OS. But when I remove the keyboard physically from the mobo, the mouse is detected and works just fine. Unfortunately when I disconnect the mouse and just have the keyboard on, the keyboard isn't detected properly by WIN 2000. Now, the keyboard functions properly in the bios setup and up until where I can press F8 to choose alternate boots such as Safe Mode etc;. After that, the keyboard stops functioning. Also another problem to mention is that in the bootup sequence, right after everything is detected, and before starting to lead WIN2K, there is an error message on the top of the screen which says "Invalid boot.ini file" "booting from c:/WINNT". I am wondering if this is the problem. If so, what can I do to fix it? The specs of my PC are below. It is an overclocked celery 366 to 550. Yes I have tried to boot at 366 and still this problem occurs. I am thinking it might be a driver conflict. I don't want to reinstall Windows. Please help with any advice you may have. Thanks
