Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

It seems a great deal of fear of viruses has been developed in users of
computers. That leads to parting
of ones money for false protection.

Are you guys working for an anti virus software company ?
It seems like you are pushing hard to get me to load up on anti virus
software

I already found the solution and you are keep pushing the anti virus
software
I guess you don't like to give anyone credit it if someone finds their
own
solution that is not virus related

Perhaps someone else can verify this
1 Unplug the keyboard and boot into windows xp
2 After it finished booting plug in the keyboard
3 Check to see if you can type anything on the keyboard

If you can than it's just on my computer
If you can't than perhaps I discovered another windows xp bug

Note this happens only on xp I tried it on windows 98 and it still works
after booting without the keyboard
If you boot with the keyboard and unplug it after it finished booting then
unplugging and re plugging the keyboard has no effect on windows xp
This happens only on windows xp and only if you boot without the keyboard
and plug it in after it finished booting

I suggest you install and run an anti-virus programme.

Gerry,
I always take an advise when I think it's relevant to my problem
When you told me that I need more memory to make the computer run
faster I did take your advice and ordered more memory
For this particular problem however your advice would not have helped
I did download spybot today and ran a scan and it did not find
anything except the windows security software and it sensed that it
was turned off which was true

I am not moulding my problem to fit the situation I was reading about
That may be an obscure situation and I am sure it's very rare since
most people have only one computer and are not flipping back and
forth between 2 computer
I just happen to have the exact same problem and as I said this is not
something
I believe it's happening. This is exactly what is happening since I
was able to verify it

Why bother asking for advice if you have no intention of taking it.
You have read about an obscure situation and are moulding to fit
your own situation. There is a saying "Manage the simple problems
well and the complicated ones take care of themselves." That could
be a lesson you still have to learn!

Installing security is an elementary first step all users need to
take when they acquire a computer. Malware is not only transferred by
connecting to the internet, although that is predominant way today.
Before the internet was in common use malware was transferred by an
infected floppy disk. People use to virus check floppy disks before
use.
