aye but not all devices are listed in safe mode, graphics, etc, as the drivers aint loaded so it wont highlight problems proper.
Get ya boot menu up, and enable Boot logging. then when it fooks up, restart ya commp in dos mode, & then type
EDIT C:\BOOTLOG.TXT
look in there for any failed devices & let us know whats deed or email it me - address in my profile!

Hold on!!!!
Quick look on Technet showed this...
quote:
SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer, you may receive the following error message:
While initializing device vkd -- Windows Protection Error -- You need to restart your computer.
After you receive this error message, you may receive the following options after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST):
Press F1 (or equivalent key) for Setup
Press F2 (or equivalent key) to load defaults and continue
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the keyboard that you have attached to your computer is not working correctly. When your keyboard does not work correctly, the keyboard cannot be initialized.
RESOLUTION
With the computer turned off, disconnect and then reconnect the keyboard.
If that does not work try using another keyboard to determine if your keyboard is malfunctioning. If it is, replace the keyboard.
MORE INFORMATION
VKD is the acronym for Virtual Keyboard Device Driver.
A multi-function keyboard is a keyboard that includes additional features such as a sound volume control, a mute option, and special shortcut keys so that you can sign on to your Internet service provider (ISP) and perform functions such as "search."

idea if ya can, just try goin into the system BIOS & restorin default values, then boot into safe mode, uninstall any drivers you installed for the keyboard, then right-click my computer, select properties, and then goto Device Manager
look under HID Devices ro keyboards, and delete all thats under it
restart the computer as normal, see if it works, if not, try another key board!
