Hey everyone this is my first post and unfortunatly its about me needing help. I am currently running Windows XP home edition version 2002 service pack 1, with intel pentium 4 cpu at 1.6GHz and 512 MB of ram. After installing a new driver for my keyboard the system would freeze and lock up upon startup. I went through a huge multitude of steps and eventually ended up in msconfig under services, I enabled and disabled every service (except required services) until i found plug and play was causing the system to lock up. I am not sure if the attempt at a new keyboard driver has anything to do with that or not, and im still in highschool so dont know enough about computers to understand how plug and play is related or can freeze up the system. I know this is a long post but any help would be appreciated. :o
