Click Start?right-click My Computer?left-click on Properties?click the hardware tab?click the Device Manager button?click the + sign by Keyboards?right-click on your keyboard in this drop-down list?click uninstall (confirm if needed)?reboot by using the power key (hold down until PC powers off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn it back on.

Once it reboots, hopefully the keyboard drivers will work correctly. If not, repost.

purchasing a new keyboard?

usb keyboards suck compared to ps/2 keyboards. and keyboards can be bought for $15 if you get a corded USB keyboard.

unless you're using some $150 high-end gaming keyboard, i would just buy a new one and save the hassle.
