USB Keyboard Not Responding.

[sjfinanceguy]

A few days ago my keyboard stopped working. I believe I was uninstalling VMWare, which did not complete (but I don't know if that has any effect on it). I obviously tried the batteries, different keyboards to make sure it wasn't something simple. I tried plugging in to different USB ports (which all recognize the keyboard and installs the drivers) but it simply does not recognize the characters that I type. I have a several different keyboards that I have tried and I can not get them to work on the computer. The mouse works fine, and the volume and calculator key's work, along with the function keys. Everything else on the keyboard does not work. I have uninstalled all the hubs, re-installed driver's, which show the keyboard is installed (with no ! or error). I have ran out of options to consider, I am about to delete all the registry keys regarding the keyboards. I have been using the onscreen keyboard to login. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated, I really am frustrated at this point. I have both Logitech and Microsoft keyboards and installed and uninstalled Setpoint, Intellitype.


I running WIN 7 x64 Ultimate

Any insight would GREATLY be appreciated.

Thanks

Already tried that. Ended up doing a reinstall.

Try a System Restore before the date of the uninstall of Vware.

Well, if first you don't suceed, do a System Recovery. Sorry, the first solution didn't work for you.
