my keyboard on my laptop is no longer working after a system restart initiated by Avast! Internet Security. There was a pop up asking to restart my computer while i was typing a new post on a game forum and it took a keystroke, probably space bar but definitely not enter, and restarted the computer. Now my keyboard and mousepad do not work and i have to use a windows 8 virtual keyboard to do anything. this is the only other info i could find.
keyboard device filter
device status:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
i have no idea how to fix this. help.
