| 283399 | 2004-10-21 11:04:00 | Sometimes while I am using the computer the keyboard suddenly stops working. None of the lights work (Caps lock, Numlock) and there is no beeping sound or anything when I press the keys. There is nothing wrong with the connection between the computer and the keyboard (i.e. the jack is not loose). Strange thing is the mouse works just fine. And windows acts normally other than the keyboard not working. I use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse on Windows XP Professional. I haven't installed SP2 yet. Might this be the problem? The problem goes away if I log off and then log on or if I reboot the computer. Anybody have any ideas? |
