ok, this was just bizarre. I had to run my daughter out to dance class - before I left, the mouse wheel wasn't working with BottomFeeder. I figured I must have somehow broken something, and decided to just leave it while I was out. 2 hours later, I get back. I get the login screen - keyboard doesn't work. Ok, maybe the USB cable is loose. No dice. Try the laptop's basic keyboard - still no response. Ok, this is now really weird. I can't login; fortunately, I can shutdown from the login screen. A reboot clears the problem. So my question is, what the heck was it? Do I have some virus/worm that got through my firewall? Did my machine overheat and stop something from working right? Did XP just have a senior moment? Is this some bad side effect from the last Windows Update? I have no idea....
