does the keyboard work during POST?
try hitting the F2 or DEL key,, whatever shows onscreen during boot...press
XXX to enter setup.
If that works, you probably have a bad driver in Vista.
If not, you may have a defective mainboard.

When the machine is doing it's Power On Self Test (POST)
The screen shows 'press F2 for setup' or something similiar.
Does the keyboard work to do that?
Will the PS2 keyboard allow you to access BIOS?
If not, you may have a bad board.

Hello BrianG
Before you do that, have you installed a Windows optional update calle
" hid non-user input data filter" ? It is for wireless mice/keyboards

If it doesn't work during POST, it is generally a hardware problem,
especially with the PS2 Keyboard.
