Title: keyboard not working at startup
Post by: pueidist on March 11, 2007, 12:23:27 PM
hey I just recently got this problem, my keyboard stops working as soon as windows boots up to the login screen, however it does work before that in recovery console.

I just recently uninstalled a trial for mcafree antivirus because I didn't need it, so I thought that might be the cause. Is there anything I can do to figure out how to fix this or should I try another keyboard?

Ok so can you click your admin account, if so and you're in Windows try disconnecting your keyboard and reconnect again. If not working try another board before restarting if the new keyboard was detected the old is the culprit if not reboot with the new one and try until you're in Windows again. If still not check the bios see if it sees the keyboard. I hope this helps :) ;) ;D :o 8-) :-? ::) :P
