i have lost the use of my keyboard, i am using the onscreen keyboard to type
this message.
when i re-install the software for my keyboard it installs correctly but
when i go to control panel/keyboard there is not a keyboard there so i add
new hardware but cannot find the device in the list.
i cannot check my bios setup on start up as i need to press f8 to get to
setup can anyone suggest what to do.
ithink there is a missing file thanxs

If you can use you mouse, uninstall the software you've installed using it,
visit the web site of your keyboard manufacturer, and download new drivers
from there. If that does not help, try obtaining support from keyboard
manufacturer...

If you can not uninstall it with your mouse, use Safe mode.
To enter safe mode, press F8 when you system boots up. Safe mode uses
generic drivers, so the keyboard should work there...

Yuriy

Have you tried using your mouse to open device manager and
check the keyboard, it may have been disabled in the
profile.
