You should try reinstalling Windows. If you cannot boot to the install disk, you should join our forums so we can troubleshoot further.

Some BIOS settings can turn on a USB keyboard, but this might be the problem you're having. Find a PS2 keyboard (round connector) if you have one handy. Regarding the restarting of your machine, I can be caused by programs, hardware--anything you recently installed. By getting into Safe Mode (tap F8) you can remove any recent programs or undo recent updates, etc. I would also unplug any external devices to make sure they are not causing the problem.

I have made boot disk went to restore, repair, F8 everything. Nothing seems to work. It won't let me press F10 during startup. Although through the boot disk I can reach certain areas like i stated but nothing good results from it. Is it my hard drive that went out? I have Vista on It. It just started today. I scanned what I could and found no problems. Any ideas. Dave My computer just keeps restarting. I have made boot disk went to restore, repair, F8 everything. Nothing seems to work.
