   Check the CONFIG.SYS file. Make sure it doesn't have any line which loads   
   KEYB.COM.   
      
     install=c:\dos\keyb.com xx ###   
      
   Also check in AUTOEXEC.BAT which looks like this.   
      
     keyb xx ###   
      
   If any is found, disable the line by inserting REM command at the start of   
   the line.
