Emachines 633is running W2K; just moved PC and reconnected keyboard and mouse, tried to boot, unit gets to the admin login screen and I see that there is no cursor for the mouse and no keyboard Checked connectors and found one of the pins on keyboard folded over and thought was the problem, no change. Tried three totally different keyboards, no change, no cursor either. This is through PS/2 ports. Tried using an USB-PS/2 adaptor to run the keyboard, still no luck. How can I get into the Win2K to try and troubleshoot? Got me stumped...

Thanks for the replies, I should try to clarify further. The keyboard and mouse are in the correct ports, and neither is working. The keyboard is completely non functional, it does not respond during boot, I tried Esc and f8 during bootup, no response. The original problem started when a relative did the connections for me after the move. He said that the unit started, but he never acutally logged in. When I tried to login, I saw the kboard and mouse were not working, checked the connector and found one of the pins on the PS/2 plug bent on the KB. Straightened it out and tried again, no luck, tried the other keyboards. That is where I am at right now. Without some type of input control, i fear this thing is DOA...
