USB keyboard stops being Windows XP reinstall on Dimension 9100!

I searched this forum for a solution and the best I found is similar, but not exact problems. To make it easier to understand, here is what I have and what I've done so far:

The computer is a Dell Dimension 9100 w / Windows XP Home Edition. I have 'no' has a PS/2 port. The keyboard and mouse are USB. There 'no' to a floppy drive, only a 80 GB HD, CD ROM & CD Burner. I wanted to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows XP Home Edition. I did the natural thing and put on the Windows CD that gave a choice of reinstalling Windows, but when I clicked it, the message said that "there is a newer version of Windows XP on the computer". The continue button is grayed out. After much frustration, I decided to manully wipe the drive, so I used Active Boot erase disc. Now when I boot from the CD ROM with the CD of Windows XP in there, load files and it gets to the screen that says "press enter = continue R = repair, & F3 = exit". Straight? No, at this time there the keyboard commands do not work so you can't do anything. Remember, "no" PS2 port so I can not put a real keyboard inside. "" Thanks Dell! I tried this sequence with the keyboard plugged into every USB port on the PC. No luck with any of them. Does the Dell hell? Can someone help me get back Windows on the stupid computer?

  • USB keyboard stops working

    I have a similar problem - USB keyboard stops working, although device manager says it's working properly. Sometimes have disconnected and reconnected it helps, sometimes not. Trackball USB stops working.  Sometimes the USB keyboard is also dead after hibernation.

    This is a new problem happened after I installed Windows 7.  (I am running XP before that.)

    I apologize for the late response. Thank you for any assistance.  Problem is solved!

    I don't have test Gerry Cornell suggestion to plug directly into the USB port, because this problem occurs during labor when I use the keyboard and the trackball with a hub (which is connected to one of the 2 USB ports in the back of the computer via an extension through a wall to the computer cable - I access the computer in 2 different rooms). But he suggested a possible solution. I bought an inexpensive motor hub, and the problem has stopped completely.  It has not occurred during the months spent at all.

    Although this problem of keyboard disappears permanently started immediately after the transition from XP to Win7, there is a hardware solution.  My guess is that with the extension and a hub not powered, there were seeds of signal, and the XP driver was better at handling what driver Win7.

    BTW, the XP to Win7 upgrade has been done by installing (but does not) Vista and then install Win7 on that, as advised by Darek emulators.com.  WinXP ran SoftMac pretty badly but Win7 it runs like a champ. OS 8.1 boots in 10 seconds approximately.

  • All USB ports stopped working Windows 7

    Windows 7 Pro. All USB ports stopped working.  When I plug a usb card, windows makes the sound as it connects and the card gets power (light).  I see the map appear in disk drives in Device Manager.  The player does not display in windows Explorer or disk management.  In Device Manager, it has an exclamation point and says that the device cannot start.

    Strangely, I have a USB keyboard and mouse and they work very well.

    It's just the USB drives and chips and SD cards that are not displayed.

    I have:

    Reinstalled the drivers USB MB

    Flashed the BIOS with the latest version

    Tried to install the older USB drivers

    Tried to let windows find the driver.

    Still does not

    None of this has helped.  I ended up formatting the HD and reinstall windows from dvd.

    This revealed that my USB multicard reader was bad.  When I unplugged the problem disappeared.

  • Why my USB keyboard did stop working?

    Can some tell me why my USB keyboard stopped working after I upgraded my mac OS X EL Capitan 10.11.4?

    Seems that Apple had broken the old apple keyboard wired usb on OS X 10.11.4. New Apple wireless keyboard worked fine.

    Was not working at boot time and didn't work with windows bootcamp and did not work when started from the recovery partition, so it must be a problem with boot loader.

    Reseting EPRAM and SMC has failed.

    Time Machine restore to old 10.11.3, 10.11 install USB appears to only way to solve the problem.

    With old 10.11 usb install, because the keyboard did not work at boot time and restoring from Time Machine backup starting 10.11.4 recovery partition broke my fusion disk partition tables. I had to manually destroy disc fusion and remove partitions on the hard drive and ssd of command-line diskutil and create new logical volume of fusion in the car and after that he restore backup from Time Machine.

    Very well of the keyboard now work but lost 1 day and Windows 10/bootcamp partition in the process.

    I have iMac 27 "5 k end of 2015, but I like to use wired keyboard numpad because.

  • Lenovo USB keyboard - Trackpoint/Touchpas does not

    Now, I'm having the same problem in Win7 that I barely got away with Vista.

    The problem is the following:

    -J' have the Lenovo Trackpoint and Touchpad (wonderful) built-in USB keyboard.

    -When I installed this keyboard on Vista it worked out of the box, but in Windows Update, I got an update recommended for newer drivers or better.

    -When I installed this driver, the Trackpoint and Touchpad stoppet work - so I had to restore my system and to hide these updates in Windows Update.

    -So when I install Win7 RTM these drivers seem to install with the system and therefore the Trackpoint and Touchpad on my external keyboerd does NOT work out of the box. I don't get updates to make this.

    I tried solutions:

    -J' tried to install the drivers from keyboerd.

    -The driver with quick access keys installs fine, but does not solve the problem.

    -The standard keyboard driver will not install because it says I have there is a newest Synaptics driver which had to be removed first.

    -Well, there is no Synaptics-drivers installed to remove - probably because these drivers are installed with the system.

    -J' also tried to Devil driver PS/2, etc., but nothing works.

    --> So, I'm really stuck with my wonderful Lenovo USB keyboard without being able to use the Trackpoint or Touchpad. The worst though is that I know what to do the problem, but don't know how to fix...

    Can anybode please help, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem (in Vista or Win7).

  • keyboard fails after USB keyboard to reconnect

    After disconnection and reconnection of my USB keyboard on my Windows 7 PC, seems it to reconnect (recognized in Manager devices, indicator light, USB connect sound pieces), but the keys don't work. Disconnect/reconnect a few times, during the passage of the USB ports eventually again become key assets, but so far I was not able to detect a pattern in what constitutes successful reconnection.

    I installed a mouse switch KVM, keyboard and screen between two Windows 7 PCs (both are HP, laptop Elitebook, the other a Pavillion Elite). This problem occurs with the Pavilion, never with the laptop. The problem occurs with or without the KVM switch. The Elitebook is usually started with the keyboard is plugged.

    In case of problem, I have done so far:

    • Reconnect using a different USB port looks more often give a positive result, but not always
    • There is no problem with the re-connection of the mouse
    • Device Manager shows no problems. Updated driver that I have the latest driver software (HID compatible keyboard), which is also identical between laptops and desktops. Also no problem in the Device Manager on the USB drivers.
    • I bought another keyboard (Logitech K120) and have the same problem with my native keyboard of HP
    • Unplug all other USB devices and I tried the keyboard connection/reconnection on different ports - no difference
    • Installed the software of Logitech keyboard (driver?) - no difference
    • Reinstalled the software of the driver on the HP website - no difference

    There is no other known issues with the computer and when the keyboard is in use (as now, when I'm typing this), everything is great. I searched all over the web and have not found someone with the same problem, at least not in Windows 7.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    I think I should have solved (fingers crossed). When I went to Control Panel / programs and features, I've seen two HP programs to support the keyboard (a normal keyboard support and the support of an extended keyboard). I deleted (uninstalled) together. So far, things seem to work.

  • USB mouse and keyboard stop working after I have install Windows Update KB2913431

    After installation automatic Windows Update KB2913431 (Win 7 Enterprise), the computer seems to work very well, but my mouse and keyboard stop working.  The option of automatic repair after that start with F8 does not work.  He said that the error is "unspecified".

    The fool is that it has created a constellation of intermittent problems when I try other options to get these devices to function after the update.  The questions I will of unpowered USB ports, grateful Windows and install the drivers for USB devices, but then do not recognize their (and are not), random BSOD, restore points invalid system, random boot failure, which causes discs to randomly stop working properly, closed randomly , à... I think you get the idea.

    I think it must be a driver problem.  I passed through the Device Manager and uninstall all hidden devices.  I have updated the drivers for everything that has an update available.  I tried to disable all, but Microsoft services at startup and in the list of "services".  I've always been unsuccessful; However, when I can get it to successfully restore to a point before the update (none of the automatic restore points work correctly) it seems ok.  It will sometimes seem to work after I applied the update, but then go haywire shortly after.  I am convinced that it is not a hardware problem, given that the prior update restores (when they actually cross without failure) work very well.

    I went through countless articles in the knowledge base and tried all the suggestions I've seen, other than registry cleaners because I had a bad experience with this earlier.  I tried so many things that I lost count and the memory of some of them.

    I reached point is never install the update (an option that I prefer not to use) or creating a clean Windows install on another drive (an option that I prefer not to use, but I'm a little more friendly to).  I already started to back up files to prepare a clean install, but I reach out one last time before I pull the trigger.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions you have!

  • My keyboard stopped responding during the installation of Windows XP.

    Reinstall windows xp - keyboard unresponsive

    I'm reinstalling XP from an official CD after reformatting the HD.  On the Welcome to Setup screen, where I need to press ENTER to set up XP, nothing on the keyboard gets a response (type F3, R).  It's as if the machine has ceased to recognize the USB keyboard, even if it worked in the previous steps.

    I need to find a different type of keyboard?  Thank you.

    Check the back of your computer and search for PS/2 (round) connectors to your mouse and your keyboard.  Older computers used these PS/2 connectors, as the main means to connect to the keyboard.  USB drivers for USB devices (including the keyboard and mouse) were not in the BIOS and USB could not be used until Windows provided drivers for these connections.  You can borrow a PS/2 keyboard, until you download Windows loaded, or you can buy a small adapter that will plug into the PS/2 computer connector so you can connect your USB keyboard to the other end.  Once Windows loaded, you can return to your keyboard and USB mouse.

  • Windows 7 - USB keyboard and mouse do not work once Windows starts

    The following happens occasionally:

    The keyboard works perfectly in the BIOS, the post OFFICE and when the Windows 7/64 Ultimate starts (I can tell the [Numlock] led shines). But when you see the Windows login screen, both, USB keyboard, USB mouse and stop working.

    I can say this from the [Numlock] LEDS go off and, mouse and keyboard, does not.

    There is no discernible specific deadline. Even wait minutes does not get the mouse or the keyboard back from work. In this case, the only way to get both mouse and keyboard, back from work is to reset the machine.

    I noticed this strange behavior with several keyboards, mice and different motherboards. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem related to a particular device.

    Independent since I also noticed the following:

    • I am currently using a card mother GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3-iSSD. If I activate XDR (caching system with the small SSD disk) then Windows 7 starts up very quickly but keyboard and mouse get disabled for about 5 seconds when the login screen appears.
      .
    • During the installation of Windows, the keyboard rarely has not activate during the POST at all.

    I noticed that several people share the same problem. Is this an inherent problem USB HID? Or is there a bug in Windows that should be fixed?

    Hello

    This might be a question of power, where Windows is shutting off the power to your USB ports. Try this:

    Open the Device Manager
    Click on the tree "Universal Serial Bus".
    For each "USB root hub" do the following-
    Right-click on 'USB hub root'
    Select Properties
    Click the power management tab
    Make sure that the box "Allow the computer to turn this device to save power" is NOT checked.

    Try restarting now. If all goes well, that will take care of the issue.

  • USB mouse & keyboard stop working after the upgrade of Intel generic drivers drivers!

    Original Post: USB mouse & keyboard stop working after upgrade to generic drivers

    After you install Windows, the Generic USB controller drivers are installed. My mouse & keyboard as planned work & that are each recognized as "compatible mouse/keyboard HID."

    After I installed the Intel drivers for root USB controller, the mouse & keyboard stop working and are classified as unknown. Shortly after, they are considered HP USB Optical Mouse & HP USB Standard keyboard, however the drivers never properly install and they remain under unknown devices with a yellow exclamation point.

    I have searched high & low for these device drivers, they do not exist. I installed the drivers for all of the materials appearing on the site of the seller. This has happened on several computers, laptops and desktop computers.

    I've done all the troubleshooting I can think. Uninstalled all the controllers/USB hubs & restarted. Switched USB ports, I tried new mouse & keyboard, wanted Windows updates.

    The only way I can make it work is if I use the generic Windows drivers, who then recognized the mouse & KB "HID compliant". It seems that if I install Intel drivers, it recognizes the mouse & keyboard more in detail and he wants specific drivers to continue.

    Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.

  • laptop keyboard stopped working after Windows update.

    have a toshiba satellite A505 laptop and the keyboard stops working after Windows Update reboots. We reinstalled Windows 7, which fixed the problem until the updates have come. Now the keyboard is unresponsive. Sounds like a software problem, no material. Also checked the keyboard drivers that are up to date.

    As a first response, go to the control panel, device, keyboard, keyboard Manager and right click, uninstall it and let it rediscover Windows and then reinstall it.

    It suits it much of the time.
