Does the keyboard work in safe mode?

Quote from: Mike_Amiga;514457
I'm not 100% on why my keyboard randomly stopped working.

Things I have done recently:

1. Installed SP3 (Seemed to cause no issues for about 3 weeks.)
2. Installed Synaptics pointing device driver (can't stand tap-click.)
3. Keyboard worked fine for about a week then...
3. Found keyboard became completely unresponsive in XP.
4. Uninstalled Synaptics pointing device driver (see if keyboard would work again.)
5. Keyboard still not working so checked in BIOS.
6. Keyboard moved around and could de/select items just fine.

Any help with this one greatly appreciated, but if all else fails I'll probably just have to reinstall. D'oh!

Or if you can try some live-cd


He said it works in the BIOS.... Most likely, clearing ACPI configuration data will fix it; else switch legacy USB from on to off or off to on, depending on the current setting.

What, that he shouldn't run Windows because something on his system isn't 100% compatible with SP3? That's rubbish. No operating system provides an upgrade proof driver model.
