Mouse and Keyboard freeze at startup in Vista Ultimate 32

    Hi,

    I have been running a Vista Ultimate 32 SP 1 with 4G RAM for a year
    now.
    3 moths ago after a slew of updates from Vista, at start-up the Mose
    and Keyboard began freezing. It would happen at the initial boot almost
    every time.
    If I hard restarted the machine then it would boot normally and they
    would not freeze once the system is running though.
    I thought it may be the latest Nvidia graphic driver ( I have the
    GT9600 ) so I rolled back to the initial one which was working
    perfectly. I also updated to SP2.

    Now it keeps happening randomly. And it is infuriating!

    What is going on?

    Any help please?

    Hi, emantod.

    You didn't give us the most pertinent information: What make and model of
    mouse and keyboard?

    Maybe it's a conspiracy by Microsoft. (I'm really just kidding!)

    Finally got the hang of the FREEZE/HANGUP

    It disappeared once I kept the PS/2 keyboard plugged in as well as the
    USB keyboard. So now I run it with 2 keyboards.

    VERY WEIRD!!! VERY ANNOYING!!

    I don't think that VISTA recognizes USB keyboard on startup, unless you
    restart manually after the FREEZE.

    Probably it's a setting in the BIOS, not in Windows...

    You would need the PS/2 keyboard to get to the BIOS :)

    In fact, that last sentence points to a test. If you can't use the USB
    keyboard's BIOS key to get to the BIOS screen, then the problem is
    definitely there and not in Windows.
