I have tried to replace a working ps2 mouse or an usb mouse and it does not
help either. I still get the error message. Will reformat help? I prefer not
to go through this route as I don not have the drivers anymore. Look forward
for some expert advice here and thanks

Seems to me that I recall this being a keyboard problem. I would try a
different keyboard. Anyone else remember if this relates to the keyboard?

A little google and I find that VK stands for virtual keyboard. Usually
related to a keyboard with extra buttons for volume etc. Might relate to the
drivers for the keyboard. Solutions: 1) turn off computer, unplug keyboard,
replug keyboard, reboot, 2) try reinstalling the drivers for your multimedia
keyboard, 3) try a new keyboard (preferably one without the extras). Hope
this helps.

Long shot, possibly worth trying:
1. Boot DOS from a floppy (or CD) and with any text
editor open SYSTEM.INI.
2. Search for string 'VKD". If there is one, it is
probably in the section [386Enh] i.e. 32-bit modules.
The null command for keyboards is
keyboard=*vkd
If you see anything else, it is probably a command
to load some special KB software (missing or corrupted
in your PC.
3. If so, just insert a semicolon ; in the leftmost position
and type in the next new line
keyboard=*vkd
then save file and exit and reboot into Safe Mode.

If your KB is in working order you may be able to
start Safe Mode OK, then see what other repairs
may be needed.

This thread seems to point to something wrong in the keyboard circuits on
the motherboard -- she's tried a different keyboard, so it's unlikely that
the keyboard itself is the problem.

Just thought I'd remind folks that there's more to the keyboard than just
the keyboard, s.

In that case you may have a corrupt vkd.vxd, registry, system.dat and/or bad
clusters on the hard drive. The first question is: Can you boot to Safe Mode? If
not continue with the below.

Bootup with a 98 DOS boot disk. At the prompt type the below commands and press
Enter after each run of 3. Note that a space is denoted by ^, do not type the ^.

scanreg ^ /fix
scanreg ^ /fix
scanreg ^ /fix

Reboot the machine and see if it will boot to your desktop. If no joy, boot to DOS
again and type the below:

scanreg ^ /restore

Select a date prior to the problem to restore the registry. Follow the prompts and
reboot. If still no joy, back at the prompt again type:

scandisk ^ /surface

When completed reboot.
