HELP!!
My computer is messed up and i cant find a way to fix it.

basically, the keyboard stops working, if i then hit a key the mouse stops working??? Yet the pc still continues to function - dvds burn, torrents finish.
I have to hold the pc's power button to shut down.

Going to device manager > keyboard
It says-
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

I have uninstalled the keyboard, then reinstalled. NOTHING. (im using a basic keyboard that was supplied with the pc, i bought a new keyboard, no change)

i have reinstalled windows several times, (xp black ed) this is only a temporary fix. I thought it may be as a result of installed software, yet even when nothing is installed it still happens.

i goggled this and found a link saying - edit the registry. followed the steps, still no luck.

has anyone got any ideas? ive ordered a new pc as this ones 5 years old. i would like to "salvage" this machine if possible.

i have installed anti virus/adware/spyware etc ran them all. nothing.

(im resorting to an on-screen keyboard.)

any helps appreciated.
