I have had this happen to me - turns out a USB keyboard indeed did the trick - it had configured a USB mouse as a keyboard. Once removed and rebooted (usb devices unplugged) it refound the keyboard in Windows. Plugged mouse back in - viola

It is setup to get a DHCP address and PCAnywhere loads with the OS, So I am hoping that I can get a remote desktop, once I have the box on the LAN. Then I will be able to determain what the FSCK he has done. If that doesn't work then I will send him back an Etch-A-Sketch.. -----Original Message----- From: James Winzenz [mailto:james.winzenz@;inovis.com] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 1:54 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Keyboard MIA ERD? If you can't get the kb back and you don't have an ERD (how many of us actually do with desktops), you may need to think about a repair . . . Shouldn't take all that long, and should also allow apps to remain functional. *Should* being the operative word here <G> James Winzenz, MCSE, A+ Associate Systems Administrator InovisTM, formerly Harbinger and Extricity -----Original Message----- From: King, John [mailto:JKing@;SouthworthProducts.com] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 1:38 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Keyboard MIA Heya, I hope everyone is having a good Friday. I know I am still recovering from all those Halloween ales.. I have a rather perplexing problem and I was hoping that maybe someone could help me out with this one. I have a remote engineer that is running Win2k Pro. He had some problems with his trackball's drivers and decided to reinstall them. Somehow he managed to delete his keyboard in the process. When he rebooted after the driver install he was shocked to find out he could no longer do a CNTL+ATL+DEL to logon to windows..! So I asked him to try going into safe mode. Which he did, and still no keyboard and no way to logon to the system. I also had him perform a last know good config boot, which still didn't work. Has anyone seen anything like this? Is there any way I can help him with this remotely? Oh, the system drive is NTFS so there is no way he is getting file system access via a generic DOS boot disk..
