Rebooted NT server, all normal indications going down and
all indications coming up were good to.
Now we have no keyboard input, and mouse works normally.
Cannot get into the machine.

Any suggestions on how to restore keyboard input?

Machine: Compaq Proliant DL380

Have you found a solution to your problem?
I have the same thing happening but with an NT
Workstation.
The keyboard works fine in the BIOS or at the bootloader
but as soon as the "Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to log on"
screen appears, the keyboard will not respond.

Checking the Event log from over the network I see the
following:

This could be a long shot, but you could try having a look at the
system.ini and windows.ini file. If there is any jargon at the top of
these files it should be removed and the file should be saved. I haven't
heard of a keyboard error like this, but I've had similar issues with
the mouse. I re-installed Windows over the top and all through the
install the mouse was just fine, as soon as Windows loaded it
disappeared again. Does your keyboard register in device manager?

Hi,
I had a look at the Win.ini and System.ini and they don't
have much in them to speak of.
I don't know how to check to see if the keyboard shows up
in the NT computer.
From a 2000 computer I can connect remotely and look at
the Event Viewer, I can't connect to Device Manager. Is
this because it is an NT computer?

Thanks

We had multiple workstations that exhibited this behavior after installing the MS04-011 patch on them. The i8042prt service which controls the PS/2 port was set to a startup type of 4, which is disabled, instead of being left as a startup type of 1, which is System.

If you have any sort of remote management/installation software, you may be able to push a registry change back down to the workstation, or Uninstall the patch. That's what we had to do.

Device Manager should (I think) still be in that version of Windows.
Does the keyboard register during the computer's boot process - for
example where it says "press Del to enter setup" does it respond if you
were to do that?

I know the keyboard works since the BIOS does recognize
it and it does work when I go into the computer Setup. It
also works at the NT bootloader when I can select between
Windows NT and Windows NT VGA mode. It's after Windows
gets to the Ctrl-Alt-Del prompt that it's inoperative.

I guess I will try doing a repair and see if that helps.
Thanks,
Mark

Funny you should say that about the patch, I think it was
after a patch and reboot that I lost keyboard access.

Unfortunately I don't have any remote access software
installed on this computer. I think I will try a repair
and if that doesn't work, I guess I will just backup the
data and then reinstall.
Thanks,
Mark
