hey..
i installed win xp pro and during the installation everything was fine and of course the keyboard functioned.
after the final boot windows starts up,asks me to put in a user name...but my keyboard does not responde...nothing.num lock or caps lock don't respond either...keyboard is dead.
i might mention that during the bios screen (when restarting, the keyboard is fine.)
 
changed keyboard....didn't help...
i am truely lost here...
 
setup is on a clean install on a totally separated hard disk.
if my hard disk with win2k is plugged into the board averything is fine.
if my other hard disk with win xp is plugged into the board instead,then the keyboard stops responding as soon as the loading windows xp is showing...BUT NOT BEFORE...
 
Please Help me....

It might be something with the Apollo Pro 133/A chipsets, cause people have had problems running USB keyboards under XP on the Abit VP6 too.

It has to do with the Logitech drivers
If the mouse meses up / it takes the keyboard too.
