Help me please...

My other computer cannot detect a keyboard. I've tried so many things--multiple keyboards, different compatible ports, adding hardware seperately, reinstalling with product CD numerous times, and more. I've tried the keyboards on other computers and they work fine. It's the computer. I'm clean of spyware and viruses. What the hell could the problem be? I can't elaborate, because I'm in a rush, but if you have any ideas, or you have encountered this problem yourself (doubtful), please give me a hand. Thanks.

If its a normal keyboard, the ps/2 connection on your motherboard died. Short of replacing your mobo, youre switching to a usb keybaord.

If it's usb, then vice-versa everything I just said.

EDIT: if somehow both your UBS and ps/2 connections have gone funky, then you have some kind of backdoor program. When you start up your system, try to get into the BIOS. If you can, then it is a malicous program.

bassiclly, sotn covered everything.

I am assuming your useing a ps/2 connection, go pick up a usb, and that should do the trick, if not, your SOL

I had quickly tried plugging it in the USB port, but it didn't work. I tried it again while the computer was off, and it worked. It looks like the ps/2 connection on my motherboard died.

What is the BIOS? Why would it be if I could get into it?

You don't know what the BIOS is? -_-

Go back to Runescape, noob.

Runescape is for n00bs

BIOS = Basic input output system.

and for the rest of you, for shame, not everyone is computer literate
