Default Keyboard problem?

Help! Whatever keyboard we plug in into our PC via the USB, the keyboard doesn't work.

When the keyboard is plugged in, a triple "thud" sound is heard, like it recognises something is plugged in, albeit sounding very much different if any other USB device were to be plugged in. After plugging it out, it just sounds like any other USB device being plugged out, with a single "thud". Our PC runs on Vista Home Premium. Help, anyone? (:

Thanks in advance! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

You could try the PS/2 adapter if it came with one (it should be purple).

Tried. Doesn't work. It seems to be a system problem rather than a hardware one =/ Even borrowed my neighbours' keyboards to try. none worked apparently.

EDIT: It works all of a sudden! Kudos to all! images/smilies/biggrin.gif Restarted it a dozen times and suddenly on the 13th time, the 'found new hardware' popup came up. problem solved. thanks! images/smilies/smile.gif
