Keyboard broken on Elonex Webbook under XP Pro SP3 ?

[Mike_Amiga]

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!

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.

How does one go about clearing the ACPI data. I've never heard about that before, and seeing as I can't type anything into the windows search device I can't find it that way. So, where is it and how is it removed? Should I use CCleaner to do it, or manually trash some files?

Well, in the end a system restore point seemed to fix this issue. Note to self, don't install random drivers for netbooks...
