Some small number of people are reporting PS/2 keyboard or mouse failures in the
Windows 2000 newsgroups . The installation goes fine, but after reboot, the
keyboard and/or mouse does not respond. The solution taken by those effected is
to change to USB versions keyboard / mouse combinations. No common factor noted
yet.
