[QUOTE="iversonwings, post: 294611, member: 24425"] [b]This is frustrating[/b] So I ordered a genuine Windows XP install disk with SP2 and successfully got Boot Camp to run on my Macbook at the beginning of last summer. It was great. Everything ran smoothly, but yesterday, while on Windows XP, the keyboard stopped working. Not a keyboard hooked up to the Macbook via USB, but the keboard that is on the Macbook.
