Keyboard Problem ??

[Hunted]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a small, but very irritating problem with my keyboard and I suspect it's both hardware and software related.

Let me start from the beginning and tell you when my problem started. I recently upgraded my system and after reinstalling WINXP my keyboard don't work. I'm able to enter the bios, but when XP starts to load I notice that my keyboard freezes. When entering the Device Manager it shows me that my Keyboard is disabled (See attached screenshot). What I then have to do is to remove the keyboard by uninstalling it or disabling it and then scan for new hardware or enabling the device again. After this the keyboard works, but XP want to restart so that settings can take affect and if I do restart the keyboard doesn't work again. Even with a new keyboard it does the same thing.

Sounds software related hey! BUT I was wondering if this isn't maybe incompatibly problems with my new MOBO since this also happens with the XP 64bit edition. Just for reference I bought the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI MOBO with an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU. Or maybe it's a BIOS setting or something that causes the problem, but I can't think what.

Is there anything I can try that might help sorting out this problem?

Your ideas/help will be much appreciated.

Thnx
