Windows 2000 server - CTRL ALT DEL doesnt work at LOGON

[Guest IT_ADMIN_GURU]

Win 2000 server - I have a problem when the server reboots the mouse works

fine but the keyoard will not let me CTRL-ALT-DELETE to log on to the server

any ideas or helpful hints as to the problem ???

 

What does work is the screensaver after 15 minutes it goes into the

screensaver I have applied.

 

But after that I cant get a logon screen with CTRL-ALT-DEL.

 

thx

Try a different screen saver.

Your problem description implied that the problem occurred after

the screen saver had cut in - hence my suggestion. If the problem

occurs before that point then you should supply more details, e.g.

- What exactly happens when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del?

- Is the keyboard still active? You can tell by operating CapsLock

and looking at the CapsLock indicator.

- Have you tried a different keyboard? PS/2 instead of USB?

- What is the recent history of this machine?

- Can you use the keyboard to get into the BIOS?

 

Remember - we can't see your server, so it is essential to post

as many details as possible, as every IT-Admin-Guru would do!
