Heya Dino Cirilli.

I have the same problem.

Iam still tryin to find info on the prob.

A quick/temp fix for you is to go to the device manager once logged
into XP and uninstall the keyboard then straight away "Scan For
Hardware Changes"

When it says to reboot, Dont.


I get the problem just before or as it is verifying the DMI pool on
bootup is this the same for you.
