Well, I shun XP like the plague so I can't really help you there.

First step is to verify that the keyboard is good or bad. Find a friend and plug your keyboard in his machine, then try his keyboard in your machine. If his doesn't work in your machine, and yours works in his machine you have a software problem, or maybe the motherboard is flaky.

edit> heck, keyboards are cheap. Just buy another keyboard! If you're not using a USB keyboard, but your mobo supports USB you might want to try a USB keyboard to verify whether or not the mobo may be at fault.
