Enable the keyboard at the BIOS. If this does not work then boot the comptuer up in Safe Mode. The keyboard does not load its drivers and everything until you windwos stars up. If the keyboard does not work before windows starts (dos, bios, etc.) It may be a bad keyboard.

Press F8 when booting up and select last known good config to boot to.
