If you tried another keyboard, the most likely cause is that the keyboard port is dead.

If you ever un-plugged the keyboard, or plugged it in while the PC was on, that can blow out the port.

Make sure that you are not plugged into the mouse port by mistake.

You can verify that it is not a driver or Windows problem by booting into DOS. (Use a bootable floppy)
If the keys function in DOS, then you have missing Windows files, and need to try a repair of your Windows installation.

Options:
New PC.
USB Keyboard.
