ok this is a strange one.... one to test the experts
my pc hung on shut down. i restarted and althogh it starts up when it got to the password screen (win 2k pro sp4) the keyboard didnt seem to work. the keyboard is a ps2 connection. the mouse works fine (usb).
the keyboard works fine in the bios. it seems to lock at some point during the startup - the caps lock does not toggle the light.
i have on two occasions managed to get the keyboard to work by booting up in safe mode with command prompt. on some occasions using this form of boot up the keyboard still doesnt respond.
i have tried a new keyboard still no joy.
i restored a virgin image on a different hdd and same problems.
i was thinking motherboard but then why would it work 100% of the time in bios mode. why would the keyboard work 100% time in acronis true image s/w ?
if it is s/w then why would the problem replicate in a fresh image ?
i am confused
can anyone help ??????????
