Hi Tom.  You didn't mention very much about your configuration, so I can 
only hazard a guess here.

Are you using the Quarterdeck QEMM 386 Memory Manager software?

If so, try adding 'IGNOREA20 UNUSUAL8042' to your config.sys file:

  device=c:\qemm\qemm.sys ... etc ... IGNOREA20 UNUSUAL8042

The IGNOREA20 and UNUSUAL8042 switches might clear up these keyboard 
problems.  I experienced this myself, this fix worked for me.
