Don’t know for what reason my keyboard suddenly stopped working on this Windows XP desktop. It was working until yesterday but today morning when start the system I found the following error message on the screen: “Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41).” And I noticed that my keyboard is not working anymore.
As per troubleshooting I used its onscreen keyboard, went to device manager. Rolled backup, updated drivers but no success. I even tried booting the system with “Last Known Good Configuration” from the boot menu but yet the same result. Keyboard just wont work.
Let me tell you that this problem has occurred earlier also with the PS2 keyboard. It stopped working with Code 19 and now its Code 41 with the USB keyboard. I don’t know what else to do. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
