have you tried a USB to PS2 converter? Cheap and easy.

I only have one PS2 port which my keyboard uses. And anyway, I really just need to have working USB ports in general.

well, I did a windows repair and it fixed the problem. bioshock looks great!!!

the only thing is now, for some reason, it forces me to do a login when it starts up. and it sets the default username as "administrator" so I get an invalid user name error every time I start up. not a big deal, but it's obnoxious.

doesn't seem to be any way to disable this, either.

Check your Users in the Control Panel. Installing .net sometimes adds an asp.net user. Delete it and it'll stop asking for your login information.

nah there's just me and "guest".

the fucked up thing is if I switch it to where you just click on your username instead of it giving the windows 2K prompt, I still get the windows 2K prompt but it's immediately covered up by the "windows is now starting screen", which then never goes anywhere because it still wants a user/pass. I can alt+tab over to it, it's just odd. windows is hell bent on getting user/pass confirmation.

this is what I get for using nlite, I guess.

Do you have "Use the Welcome Screen" checked? If your account and Guest are the only ones in there and you have that option checked it should skip the screen.

Well I just dropped my laptop onto a hard stone floor... I am quite simply fucking amazed that it didn't break. I've tested everything that I can think of to test and somehow it works. Held my breath for a while though.
