I have recently acquired windows Vista and have had many problems already but was able to overcome them, this however, is proving more difficult. I was running a keyboard that worked for a couple of days no problem, I didn't bother with drivers since it was working fine. One day it just ceased to work - no response whatsoever. Vista suggested it may be faulty hardware, so I thought I'd try the drivers. i installed the drivers, rebooted and then none of the peripherals responded - none. The cursor wouldn't move and no shortcuts would work. I tried a different keyboard, still nothing. Rebooted - same story. Restarted in safe mode, thought that it wouldn't run new drivers... Still locks up in safe mode... not sure what to do... The drivers for the keyboard came from some obscure little company called 'MY' - 'My' office keyboard. Anyway, thanks for spending the time to read this, any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
