I used the Restore function from V-COM's Fix-It Utilities 6 bootable CD to restore my comp and now whenever Windows boots to the log in screen, the keyboard stops responding. Its a USB keyboard.
I can press DEL or F8 during boot to enter BIOS or the OS Boot choice menu, but oncew Windows loads (everything looks normal during boot), the keyboard stops working. I can still use my mouse as normal, but I cant type a password. When I boot to safe mode, the same thing happens.
What could be causing my keyboard to behave like this, and what can I do to fix it?
I have already tried a few things:
-unplug keyboard and mouse to reset the controller. Windows booted without either, which I thought was odd. I went to BIOS and found and changed the Stop on Error option from "All, but keyboard" to "All errors" and rebooted without the keyboard attached, this time it hung, but plugging it in then or after another reboot didn't make it work once it got to login.
-try a PS2 keyboard. It said no keyboard was found with errors turned on. When I turned them off (switching back to USB keyboard to do so) it booted to login, and still no response. Unplugging and replugging didnt change anything.
I do not have a WinXP repair CD.
