SOS keyboard problem

Hi everybody I am new.
I have a problem with my hp laptop. it is a pavillon N5425.
I would like to ask whether this model offers an hotkey that locks the
keyboard.
Two days ago i was working with my laptop. when suddenly as I was
typing nothing was being written. i touched all the keys, NADA. as if
it was locked.
I am desprate. I don't want to believe my keyboard suddenly burned or
that a bus that links it to the motherborad fried :? .
Can you help me??? PLEASE.

By the way, i connected an external keyboard, from which I am typing
right now. it works. I also tried to uninstall my keyboard and reboot
and see what happens. still my keyborad not responding, though this
time at evry launch i have an error message saying that they couldn't
find the DRI_KBfiltr, somthing like that. I didn't understand the
message but I have a strong belief that it is related to my
keyboard.

So is there any HP nice Doctor to help me have my keyborad's life
back???


Thank you so much for your assistance.

Looks like it's something to do with Multimedia Hotkeys driver.

Try this (I haven't tried it myself - found it on the internet):

1. Start / Run / msconfig / OK.
2. Select the Startup tab.
3. Clear the cpatr10 check box.
4. Press OK.
5. Restart Windows XP.

Hope it helps!
