Hi all, I am Facing a peculiar Keyboard problem.My microsoft wired Keyboard Does not Work [Not even the NUMLOCK LED Goes On] in BIOS and Windows xp Sp3.But When i Used my Dyne:Bolic 1.1 LIve CD..It Worked Flawlessly.Please Find me a Solution of the problem.
I tried the following:
1.Uninstalled the Keyboard From the device manager and restarted.
DM Shows That The Keyboard is ok.
2.Unplugged and replugged the keyboard several times.All pins are fine
3.Tried to format But couldn't since the Keyboard is not working.

Urgent Help is needed.thnx in advance.

So how you enter in BIOS if the keyboard doesn't work in BIOS?

Try checking in another system.

Ya he is right....!!

Gr8 notice gaurav.!!

U can also check the keyboard in linux(live cd)

If it works thr also then be sure thr is sumthing wrong with windows.

Reinstall/Update mobo drivers then.
