Keyboard not working in Windows 95

I finally got Windows 95 installed on the hard disk (Windows 2000 didn't work well, Windows 98 refused to install) and then I transplanted the hard drive into the Webplayer. Windows set about detecting the various hardware and after a few restarts, the Virgin keyboard/mouse just stopped working within Windows. It works fine in DOS (i.e. BIOS, Scandisk prompts, etc) but as soon as Windows boots up it locks center screen. I have been switching the hard drive back and forth, removing installed devices then re-transplanting just trying to get some control again. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do to get the keyboard to show up again?

Best regards,
Mike Wellems

Maybe you could try running Windows 95 in SAFE mode? See if there are any other hardware conflicts or whatnot...

It's been awhile, but I think you need to hold F5 while booting? Or maybe F2, F8... I think on some versions of Windows you can hold down the Ctrl key...

Hope this helps!

Can you bum me a .sig?

I'm with Frogking. I don't think the keyboard is the issue but something else that halts your windows.
The moment you see 'startin Winows 95' you hit F8 which will bring you to the boot menu. Choose 'safe mode'
and try figure out what can be conflicting.
