computer is a dell optiplex 745. less than a year old. xp pro sp2..

the keyboard works up until you log into windows.. then it stops.

the keyboard works on other computers.. there are 3 different keyboards plugged in right now, all usb.. they all work when logging in and stop working once logged into windows.

i reinstalled chipset drivers
deleted all usb devices and keyboard in device manager, and restarted so they would auto reinstall.
i ran spyware / virus scans.
i disabled all the worthless stuff in msconfig.

any ideas?
 
why that one? is there a difference for some reason? i know of 15 other computers just like that one that work fine.. i plugged the keyboard wherever i felt like it and it works.
 
I have the same problem, I can fix it by system restoring. However I was plagued by the problem again and had to system restore once more.

I'm going to try to find the culprit. At the moment I think its a Java update that breaks the registry at some point.

I'm curious do you still have this problem?
 
I had that random problem with this board.. 2 USBs works before windows, then then the windows loading screen pops up, my keyboard and mouse light dies. Dunno how I fixed it.. just kept plugging things everywhere and restarting. *Shrugs*
