Question:

Keyboard not working?

i reformat my computer, use it for a day. i was watching a video, and notice that the keyboard stopped working, i tried numerous keyboards ps2 and usb, but nothing works. with ps2 and usb, i can use both untill i see windows when the computer turns on. but only with ps2, the following happens: whenever i press a key on the keyboard, i hear a bleep sound coming from the motherboard. i do have all of the drivers installed. any help? (and i reformatted using windows xp)

Answer:

remove all the keyboards and reboot the system--you will probably have to use the mouse only at this point. Before you restart the system, remove the USB keyboard so the system doesn't see it and forces it to load the other drivers. An afterthought isdid you go into the Device Manager and see the built in keyboard listed? If notdid you seen any large yellow exclamation points showing up for unidentifiable devices? If so, one of those is probably your keyboard and the drivers didn't take. Try reinstalling the keyboard drivers again. But try the restart after removing the keyboards from Device Manager and see what happens first. Then try reloading the drivers if you still don't see it.
Go to device manager, and try scanning for hardware changes and/or reinstalling it.
