Keyboard Still Won't Work on Startup

Re: keyboard Won't Work on Startup, posted on 1/13/08.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the keyboard driver but the problem continues.
The only way I can get it to work is to do an error-check (disk check) after
a hard shutdown. I really don't want to have to resort to using a USB
keyboard as all my USB ports are already in use. My machine is about 7 years
old but has never given me any trouble until now. Any thoughts at this
point? Please read 1/13 post for important details. Thanks.
