>Environment:
>Description:
Pressing the Caps Lock or Num Lock key will disable the keyboard completely. This happens at the very start of sysgen. The only fix is to restart the system. This happens with 6.2, 6.4 and 7.1. The same hardware works normally with Windows XP. Changing the keyboard doesn't make any difference.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just turn on the system and press caps lock or num lock
>Fix:
no workaround found
