I have a spare old Pentium III I don't use much but set it up the other day and it worked ok for a few days until the keyboard stopped working - I went in to control panel>>>keyboard and it said 'error 10 - this device could not be started' so I'd go in to device manager, uninstall it, reinstall and all would be fine.

But recently it just won't find the keyboard at all now, in control panel>>>keyboard, it's not there. I've tried searching for new devices but nothing comes up.

The strange thing is, the keyboard works while the pc starts up, it gets to the XP green dots screen, then the keyboard lights go off and then - nothing.

Once the pc starts up properly, if I then try to use the keyboard, the mouse freezes.

It's not the keyboard as I've used a few and I get the same thing each time.

'elp!!
