Re: Keyboard Lockout Error 32

The keyboard is a PS2. The keyboard can be used to enter into Safe Mode but
will not function in Windows. Haven't tried booting without the keyboard.
Have to get back to you on that one.

And the subject line is about all I know about it.

The keyboard won't function after Windows loads. The keyboard driver is
reporting error 32. Changing keyboards hasn't helped. Reloading the driver
hasn't helped.

Can anyone here tell me how to fix this?
Does anyone here know of any relevant registry entries?

Thanks.

What type of keyboard are you using, USB or PS2?

Does the BIOS detect the Keyboard?
If you don't see the manufacturers logo at the beginning of boot and you do see the
POST screen (Black screen that shows the memory count, drive detection, kb/mouse and
more), keep a close look after the drive detection to see if it reports detection of
the keyboard. If it scrolls past to fast you can press the "Pause" key to stop the
boot up routine, when you want to continue boot press any key.

What happens if you boot to Safe Mode?
To get to the startup menu press the F8 key after you see the logo or post and
before XP loads, then select Safe Mode in the menu.

What happens if you boot with the keyboard disconnected?
