Subject: A CONUNDRUM


I have found the definition of a Catch 22.

Am doing a clean XP PRO install on a Dell computer.  
The dos screen tells me there is a keyboard failure.  But the lights on the
keyboard are on.  The computer boots from the disk, it goes through its blue
screen uploading the basics, then it gives me the screen asking if I would
like to continue installing XP, all I have to do is click ENTER.  But it
doesn't recognize the keyboard.  There are only USB ports no PS/2 ports on
the tower, I have tried all the possible USB ports.  So the only way I can
see to fix the keyboard error is by hitting enter on the keyboard, but.....
you see the problem? Help. Thanks to anyone who can.... Dianne
