    Hi Hueyman. Are you able to get in & uninstall the TARGET software. I think it may have something to do with the problem.
    If that does not fix it then I think you may have to reinstall Windows.
    Keep us posted.

    Doesn't this has something to do with Keyboard and mouse HID client drivers (Windows Drivers) ?

    Any ways to hard reset HID devices in Win 7 ?

    Last question : Is there any ways to restore Windows to a point that does not appear in the restore list ?

    No mate anything on the machine will be wiped by a fresh install.

    If you are going down this track then I would do this after backing up any data you need.

    The devices that caused the trouble in the first place I would also replace.

    Ok I'll do it...

    As soon as all will be set up and working properly again I'll create restore point ...

    Can't believe I'll do the most radical solution just for a keyboard problem ..

    After all, keyboard is a crucial peripheral.
    I know it's probably too late and maybe it's been mentioned before, and it'll sound silly but - have you tried changing the keyboard layout in regional and language options?

    No mate it doesn't sound silly at all take for example my Toshiba laptop that has the screen brightness the opposite way around to what I set it no matter what I do.

    ... Yes it's too late, I'm now typing from a fresh install and it works ( of course ! )

    I didn't tried this, I don't want to believe this could the solution... but it probably was

    Guys, you won't believe what will follow ...

    After half a day of re-installing all softwares and files I had backed up, and applying all Windows 7 updates ( 743 Mo of updates ), the keyboard stopped working again ...

    This time, as soon as I did the fresh install, I gave a lot of disk space allocated for restore feature, so I restored prior to Windows 7 updates and it works fine.

    There is definitely something really wrong with those updates, what should I do ? Why Microsoft isn't aware of such a problem ?

    Well if you know what updates are causing this problem just system restore and the set updates to what I do as in pic and knowing what the update is when it is offered right click on it and click on "Hide" It will not appear again. Now this does of course mean you don't have tha update and I am not sure if it would be an important one - the alternative is to replace the keyboard etc
