I had something similar on my fully patched XP SP3 machine at home. Mouse worked, until I pressed a key on the keyboard and then the machine inputs (mouse & keyboard) locked up. I was able to remote desktop to the PC (was at home, and fortunately I had enabled remote desktop), otherwise the machine would have been inaccessiable. I was never able to cure the machine, although I tried every combination of USB and PS/2 keyboards and mice. The keyboard worked fine in the BIOS, and worked fine since I rebuilt the machine.

XP machine. Windows does not recognize the keyboard (PS2 or USB). I can use the keyboard to access BIOS, but not safe mode or windows. The keyboard does work in other workstations without any issues. Both USB and PS/2 mice work. I can log on via remote desktop and device manager lists the keyboard. I have uninstalled the driver and restart the machine, but still no dice. When I log back on via remote desktop, I can see that windows installed the driver again. Event viewer is useless. I copied over, from another XP machine, the i8042prt.sys and kbdclass.sys.. still nothing Any other ideas?
