No Windows 98

That's a keyboard error. Try another keyboard.

I have seen an error like this once.

I assumed it was the keyboard too.

But it turned out to the be the keyboard port on the mother board.

IF you have a Windows Startup disk or an old DOS boot disk, see if the computer can boot with that. And see if the keyboard actually does work.

VKD stands for Virtual Keyboard Device Driver. Windows displays this message when it cannot initialize your keyboard. It is possible that the keyboard is bad (as in answer 1 above) or the keyboard port is bad (as in answer number 2 above), but there is another possibility. The keyboard driver may be corrupt. Try to start Windows in "Safe" mode. Once Safe mode is loaded, go to My Computer, Control Panel, then System. Click on the Device Manager tab. Inside the Device Manager, highlight and remove the keyboard, then try re-installing it from the Windows CD-ROM, if it is a "standard" keyboard. If you are using a "multi-function" keyboard, use the specific drivers for it. In this case, I might want to get the newest drivers from themanufacturer to install. Good luck.

Dear Friend,

This behavior can occur if the keyboard that you have attached to your computer is not working correctly. When your keyboard does not work correctly, the keyboard cannot be initialized.

To resolve this behavior, try using another keyboard to determine if your keyboard is malfunctioning. If it is, replace the keyboard.
