System not booting up

[kccboy2004]

Hi, I am grateful for any help.

My Vista pc is going through the Hardware boot routine, the Microsoft green windows time bar is then coming up, but then runs endlessly, it never boots through.

So, I put in my Vista CD to repair this. BUT.... the boot sequence is not set to read the CD drive first, it reads the HDD.

BUT.... the keyboard does not work until Windows loads up... so I can't change the Boot sequence....


The Keyboard is USB only.


What do I do ? How do I get the Keyboard to work. Or otherwise get the system to boot. I have tried to remove the 4GB RAM and replace each one in turn...No luck, same result.


Thanks.

Put the USB to PS/2 connector on the keyboard and go in the bios.
It is a purple connector that comes with the keyboard if you still have it.
