Ive recently upgraded to WIN2K form win98
I have a USB KeyBoard (Microsoft Natural)
it worked fine under win98
it gave me some problems after the upgrade due to the wrong driver... but i was able to fix that...
a day or two later i boot into WIN2K and the KeyBoard isn\'t responding... (can\'t execute Ctrl+Alt+Delete to log on)...
Where do i go from here...

You should be able to plug a keyboard in the PS/2 port and try loggin in there. You can keep the USB keyboard plugged in, or (my recommendation) plug it back in once you\'ve logged in (just keep the other keyboard plugged in, PS/2 devices aren\'t as hot swappable as USB). See if windows detects it and installs the drivers for it. See if it works in the other USB port. See if any USB device will work.
Basically just narrow it down to see if it\'s the keyboard, the port, or even just windows acting up.

I know for a fact it\'s windows...
I have a multiple OS System..
Keyboard works just fine with others...(even at Bios Setup)
Also, i was successful to login the first time after the upgrade simply because i hadn\'t set and Admin Passwd.
(all i did is, i clicked OK with the mouse (PS/2)-Passwd field was empty)... from there i installed the usb driver i have on the other OS (WinME, Win98, Linux)... and the keyboard worked just fine... played arround with it a little and shut it down...
Oh yeah, one more thing... i only have 1 PS/2 port
2 Usbs and 1 serial.
How can i initialize the Usb driver during bootup? i think that\'s what i need to do.
Thanks for answering...
