Re: Keyboard not working cannot login

I was running my system without passwords till date. Today I created password for my Account and tried to login after restart. But am unable to login since no input from my keyboard is accepted. That is I cannot enter anything in the User name place and the entry place for password. The mouse though is working.

The keyboard was working fine before while I was in Desktop (just before I created my new password). Till today I did'nt realise whether keyboard was working in login or not since I was not required to type a password during login.

I tried using another working Keyboard but the problem persist. I also tried booting in safe mode, to login as default Administrator but could not, since even the user name is stuck at last login user name (The password created account also had administrative privilage).

During Bios boot up the keyboard blinks and also in the BIOS setup the keyboard works. I don't know but doubt whether the window system file takes over at logon welcome screen stage. If so it might be a case of missing or corrupt driver or system file, but I am at dead end on how to go about resolving it.

Please! anyone, any help please.

My OS Win XP (Pro) SP1. 

Make sure that the cursor is active in the login field by clicking
in the box.
