I got in using my old ps2 keyboard and made sure that usb keyboard in bios was enabled. tried again with my usb board and still no joy. Im going to do a fresh install of xp tomorrow hopefully that might sort it out. Thanks for the help.

Nope, the Windows install won't make a blind bit of difference.

Set the BIOS to USB controlled by the BIOS.
If that option isn't there then consider a BIOS upgrade as that *may* add the option.

What motherboard is it ?

Make sure that USB keyboard support on the Intergrated Peripherals page is enabled along with both USB controllers. Then try the keyboard in different USB ports until it works.

You have to Update the BIOS straight away on that board.
