Solve : Keyboard Problem?

Answer»

I have a very strange problem. I had a problem with my DVD drive and someone on a forum told me to uninstall my IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (it auto reinstalls once i REBOOT). Now the good news: If fixed my DVD drive. Bad news: my KEYBOARD won't work. All the other USB devices work (its a USB keyboard). I know for sure that the keyboard works because i tried it on my laptop. It doesn't come with a driver and the manual says it should work by just plugging it in (MADE by Microsoft). I am baffled by this problem and have been typing USING the On-Screen Keyboard for a month and its really annoying .
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.Try using the same procedure you did on the IDE controller on every USB root and hub in device manager...right click/uninstall or remove.
Re-boot and see.BTW

Pure coincidence. I tried that uninstalling and installing the hubs and controllers but the keyboard still doesn't workIf the keyboard works on another machine but not that one then the USB slot may be burned out...
Is it on the front or rear of the machine ? ?I have 4 USB ports, 2 in the back and 2 in the front. I plugged the keyboard into all of them but it still doesn't work. When I plug it into my laptop which has 2 USB ports on the back, it works fine without any driver or anythingMaybe that desktop machine hates that keyboard...i'd replace it as they're not that expensive...
If other devices run on those ports then it's not a fault of the USB drivers.Quote from: patio on January 13, 2008, 11:09:26 AM

I think you should add a "s" at the end of keyboard because the keyboard I'm trying is a new one, my old one stopped working.There's nothing more reliable than a PS2 keyboard...

ill try it... thanks
