The original post, as above, automatically leads one into
suspecting the keyboard/keyboard drivers/logon routines.

To subsequently volunteer that the mouse is locked too, then puts an
entirely new perspective on the problem. This piecemeal release of
symptoms wastes time/effort of anyone trying to help. This will
discourage others to help. If you cannot follow/agree with this
logic, then I give up!

Although {R}'s style is somewhat harsher than's mine, I feel that
he/others/I object to spending our time/effort being helpful when
faced with an ongoing series of problems when that person is
a) a techie/pro who sells his ability/services
b) and rarely reciprocates.
Apologoes to {R} if I misunderstood his post.
