I tried to put a USB KB and mouse onto my Win2K system that is remote managed
using Zen and has a Novel logon. I found that keyboard driver did not
automatically update to pick up the USB KB, so I manually updated the driver.
On reboot I had no KB. I cant logon to remove the driver and replace it
with the existing one. I tried to put back the PS2 KB and on reboot still no
joy. I saw a tip to try and plug them both in and reboot, but still no joy.
KB in PS2 port can still be used to F8 during the Windows boot, so I can get
to the command prompt. When I choose safe mode, I still get the logon box
and the KB is inactive. Any suggestions??

Can you disable the USB ports in the PC's BIOS?
