The keyboard on our desktop has stopped working.
It works fine if connected to my laptop.but not on our desktop.It appears to work in DOS but not in XP. Any ideas how to fix would be most appreciated.

Can you actually get into windows XP?

If you can Open Control Panel /Keyboard. Click on Hardware tab and select Troubleshoot.

This will lead you through a series of questions which may help solve the problem
 
is it USB or PS2 type connection ?

If USB , have you any other USB connections and are they working ok / have you tried other USB ports ?

if it's the ps2 type connection (round one) then assuming you have a usb port just try a usb keyboard instead.

strange that it's working in DOS though and not xp points more to software instead of hardware but sticking a usb keyboard in might dodge the problem pretty much cost free. (apart from the keyboard of course)

worto.
