Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional will not let me type in a password, nor will the cursor show up on that?

Answer 1

sounds like a problem with the software, i would run the disc and either repair or reinstall the program

Answer 2

Make sure the keyboard is connected properly (press the caps lock and see if the caps lock light goes on). If the mouse is not appearing use the TAB (forward) or SHIFT-TAB (backward) to move around the login screen. If you have another keyboard, try using it to test if it's the keyboard. If it's on a laptop, your keyboard may have come loose (this requires opening the laptop - not recommended). The problem should be hardware related. But if it's not, I guess reloading Windows may be the last choice...
