    I have a Toughbook CF29 and the keyboard does not function for normal log in. If I go into BIOS, it works fine, but when it comes to the windows log in screen, nothing works. Any suggestions?

    Are there any ? marks or ! marks in your Device Manager?

    If you didn't password protect the administrator account then try going into safe mode... Or hook up a USB external keyboard...
