    I agree, this is almost certain to be a Windows issue, or there would be problems in the BIOS too.

    hi All,

    fresh install of xp did not fix the keyboard problem, very weird. anyway, the pc is about 6 years old and has had other problems so i'm at the point of shopping for a new one.

    thanks again for all the help,
    dave

    One quick thing you could do is to try clearing the CMOS in case it got scrambled. There should be a jumper on the motherboard to do that, if there isn't or you can't find it then pulling the motherboard battery out for a few minutes will achieve the same result (unplug the power lead as well).

    Solution I found

    Start>control panel>Accessibility Options> uncheck all options here.


    The beeping is and lack of function is caused by the Use FilterKeys option.

    A year late, but I hope it helps someone else looking for this issue!
