Beginning with Control Panel, remove all occurences of the previous driver installation, including files unzipped in Temp folders and the relevant oemx.inf file in C:\Windows\Inf.
 
Unplug keyboard and use its PS/2 extension or another keyboard while reinstalling drivers and the upgrade. Plug the USB cable only after full software installation and wait for Windows to recognize the hardware and complete the installation.
