just installed windows 2000 using a ps2 keyboard now I am trying to log into windows with a usb keyboard, nothing happens when I type. But if I put the ps2 keyboard back on I have no problem. Everything is correct in the bios settings for usb any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you

But what about the USB controller drivers. W2k, in my experience, doesn't always recognize the USB controller. What service pack are you running? Windows Update might even fix this issue by providing a new generic USB driver.

Yes the usb controllers are installed and have the latest windows updates including service pack 4. I am thinking that tne drivers for usb keyboard has to be installed first while having the ps2 keyboard hooked up.

usb keyboard was not running, but mouse is running. check my computer(right click--> option) --> hardware --> device manager. if you found an exclamation mark, device diver install for usb keyboard.
if keyboard including usb hub it definitely install device driver
