I'm restoring an older PC (P4 2.8 gHz, 1 gig memory, 80 gig hd, ASUS
P4S533E). When I boot the existing Windows XP goes to the login
screen but the keyboard isn't recognized. However, the mouse works
and when I click on the login "Help" it opens up.

The keyboard works in the BIOS. I've tried other keyboards both PS2
and USB. I've disabled "Legacy USB Support" in the BIOS as well. I
even switched mother boards incase it was hardware. All with the same
result.

I'd rather not reload XP but I think that is my only alternative. Any
suggestions before I go this course??

Thanks.




Are you using the classic login (where there is a box for your username
and another for your password), or the Welcome Screen (where there is a
picture for each user)?
If the latter, can you press ctrl-alt-del twice to get to the classic
screen?
