WinXp is ignoring my keyboard

[Hairbrush]

I've just put my shiny new toy together

Gigabyte K8NXP
AMD 64 3000+
Seagate 120gb ide drive
club3d 6600gt
corsair ram

and truly lovely it is too, but only if I use a knoppix boot disk.

I can install WinXP pro fina and dandy but as soon as it finishes the install does the reboot and goes in to the user setup phase and I get no response from the keyboard. If I reboot I get the administrator login screen but still no joy from the keyboard.

I've tried 2 different ps2 keyboards but there is no difference. Both work fine in the BIOS and in Knoppix.

Solved it. I changed my USB optical mouse for a good old fashioned PS2 mouse and now the keyboard works.

Obviously really. *Shrugs*. Sometimes I really hate PCs.

you shouldt have to use a ps2 mouse with a ps2 keyboard, you SHOULD be able to use any combination of the two usb/ps2 and have no problems. i am currently using a usb mouse with a ps2 keyboard its operating fine, might want to try blowing away some drivers and letting them redetect or checking to see fi anything is disabled, but it SHOULD work
