Hi,
i have strange problem.  I found out that i have some Vmware leftovers -vmkbd.sys , problem is when i remove it, i cant log into machine, but i had other issues.

  Setup Win XP SP3 with PS/2 mouse + keyboard and USB mouse + keyboard - all wired, 4 devices.

  Problem is when i remove Vmware driver - on logon screen only PS/2 mouse is working, until i press PS/2 keyboard key, after that it freeze.
  With Vmware driver installed, all PS/2 devices are working + USB keyboard is working, USB mouse is not working for some reason.
  Other issue is thas control panel - keyboard and mouse are not just starting, any other panels are ok, no input freezes within session etc, so its software problem.  

  I tried other clean XP install, same USB drivers, no Vmware and all devices are working fine. When i moved machine to Vmware for test, i had only keyboard, no mouse until Vmware tools installed - i dont thing that is normal behavior.

   Any ideas, what could be wrong and how to solve it?
