| 384585 | 2005-08-30 04:03:00 | Hi I have a compaq Deskpro en. I currently have it without the keyboard, so i used my current one but it only works till the Welcome/Log-on screen in XP Pro after that none of the keys work. why would this be happening?. this machine is not that old to not recognize a plug& play keyboard. |

| 384587 | 2005-08-30 05:23:00 | You may need to remove the drivers. I had a similar problem with the mouse, PS/2 or USB can't remember, but it was working fine, then Windows decided it found a new device and installed some driver over the top and after doing that, the mouse didn't respond. I had to figure out how to tell Windows to leave the mouse alone, but don't ask me how I managed that. You may need to figure out how to get windows to stop replacing the driver of the keyboard, and try using a more generic one, or using the drivers for your keyboard and trying to get windows to leave it alone once it's setup how you want it. Cheers, KK |

| 384592 | 2005-08-31 03:22:00 | "... only the " Power" button seems to work in windows." So Windows isn't working. The keyboard might be working, but with noone at home in the OS to listen to it, how can you tell? |
