I am helping trying to repair a friend's computer (a Dell).
I unistalled a bunch of spyware/adware stuff and when I rebooted it the keyboard would no longer work in windows.
When start my computer and get to the login screen, the keyboard won't let me type my password. The screen flickers and I hear a quiet beep, when I try to type. All keys have the same response (cntrl, etc.) they just beep. Keyboard lights are not on either. Keyboard only works in BIOS setup screen. Admin has no password so I can get into it that way in Safe Mode but keyboard still doesn't work. Tried removing the keyboard driver but it won't let me. System Restore didn't work either.
Note: I have seen two other reports on the web that seem to describe the same symptoms, but not solution.
