windows protection error

Hi
Not sure if this is the right newsgroup, but any help appreciated.

On starting up a PC , we get the usual dos windows loaded, it then give the
following error message:-

"While initialising Device VKD, Windows protection error. You need to
restart your computer".

I checked the FAQ on Microsoft, and came across the following article no.
263318, it states that the VKD is a Virtual Keyboard Device Driver.

It say switched off the PC and unplug the keyboard and try another keyboard.
I have tried this, but still get the same message.

Can anyone please suggest other remedies?
Thanks
Barry
