None of that helps.

I have checked all the standard things, connections, batteries,
keyboard, etc. I've tried 4 different keyboards and none of them work
in Windows.

1 USB Wired Keyboard, 1 USB Wireless Keyboard, 1 PS2 Wired Keyboard,
and 1 PS2 Wireless Keyboard

Here is what i have fro PS/2 hard wired keyboard.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\i8042prt.sys
c:\windows\system32\drivers\kbdclass.sys

check to see if you have these driver files.
