Default Problem with infrared keyboard+trackball

Hi,

I own one of these infrared keyboards that include a little trackball
in a corner (to use like a mouse). The infrared receptor is attached to
the PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors.

I have two computres, both with Win XP SP2. In one of them the
keyboard+trackball operates correctly but in the other one I have this
problem:

I can use the keyboard and access the bios, I can choose the OS to boot
in the Boot Magic menu, but when XP has been loaded, it is, at the
Login screen, the keyboard+trackball do not respond and remain disabled
even if I reboot the computer. Then I have to attach a normal PS/2
keyboard to acces the bios and exit saving changes to force the bios to
detect the Infrared keyboard. But every time I try to load windows the
keyboard is dissabled.

I tried to create a new partition and install a new windows XP SP2 but
the problem is the same.

Does anybody known anything that I could do to find why Windows XP is
dissabling the keyboard at the startup?
