  Go to Start > Run.
  
  Type in services.msc
  
  Enable the Plug and Play services by pressing Start.
  
  It's UPnP.

  try something at the bios.
  for example my motherboard bios has this option under the advance menu (PCIPnP) - Plug & Play O/S [Yes/No]: when set to 'No' the bios the BIOS configure all the devices in the system. This option may be important if you are sharing your computer with other users and you are the administrator user. In a netwrok environment if you are the administrator you are to configure it so that the users of each other stations cannot fiddle with any settings that may alter the function of the computer altogether.

  I have no idea how you can even reach the login screen without the keyboard, as BIOS will immediately give error beeps if no keyboard is detected.

  you are correct
  
  but
  
  when booting the keyboard is enabled as BIOS enables USB but
  
  after windows startup (when login screen appear)
  
  WIndows disables USB port so as keyboard and mouse

  Are you using Windows XP Professional? If yes, we can try using remote access to control your computer and re-enable everything.
  
  If no, you have to hunt around for a serial port keyboard. I have to say that this kind of keyboards are really rare, so rare that I have no idea where to find them.
  
  
  
  Note that serial ports have 2 rows of pins, instead of 3 rows which are for monitors. If you are able to get such a keyboard, plug it in. If the computer beeps or give you a warning that no keyboard is detected, I'm sorry to say that you have to reformat.
  
  Try starting up and see if you can enter.
  
  If yes, try this:
  
  

  [*]Press Ctrl + Esc to activate the Start menu.
  [*]Press R and a Run window would pop up. Type in services.msc. Hit Enter.
  [*]Press Tab one time and you will see Alerter being highlighted.
  
  
  
  Note this column to see see if you have reached Plug and Play.
  
  [*]Press P until you reach Plug and Play. Hit the Enter key.
  
  
  
  [*]Press Tab until you reach Startup Type. Use the up down arrows to change it to Automatic.
  [*]Press Tab again and press S to get your USB ports activated.
  [*]Press Tab again to go to the OK button. Hit the Enter key.
  [*]Next, press U until you reach Universal Plug and Play Device Host. Hit the Enter key.
  
  
  
  [*]Press Tab until you reach Startup Type and use the up down arrow keys to change it to Automatic.
  [*]Press Tab again and press S to get the services started.
  [*]Press Tab until you reach the OK button. Hit the Enter key.
  [*]Press Alt + F4 to close it.
  [*]Press Ctrl + Esc again.
  [*]Select Shutdown and shut down the computer.
  [*]Wait for about one minute and plug in your USB mouse and keyboard.
  [*]Restart the computer and see if it works. If it doesn't, and you don't have Windows XP Professional, the only way I see is to reformat.

  It's an OS problem, resetting BIOS doesn't help.

  no need buy serial kybd...buy usb/ PS2/ serial adaptor and plug on keyboard to comp can oredi....next time make sure admin has the right of way in OS control over the clients and block out all possible adjustment controls that may render your clients' workstation inaccessible.

  for your information
  
  USB to PS2 is useful only for mouse but cannot useful for keyboard
  
  and USB to serial is not available (vice versa is available)
