KEYBOARD FAILURE

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Anyone ever heard of this error message? I was having trouble pasting some stuff and I finally got frustrated and re-set. I got a boot message KEYBOARD FAILURE, but I clicked the numlock and i went into normal boot, except no keyboard functions work. I switched keyboards, but thtat was no help. I scanned for virus, although I use a firewall and Norton is on auto-protect. Any ideas?? Would thinking keyboard controller chip on the motherboard be possible. Help, I have to use my wives Windows ME system!!......joe
