I had to ask since my wife's XP-Pro works in a VirtualBox 'appliance' and
regularly suffers a keyboard freeze but I've found the fix for it.

With a real hardware issue then I'd try an alternate USB socket; like
ermm... switch the mouse & keyboard connections around.  Failing that
(and you might have already tried that anyway) you might try for a PS/2
connector, if you have a socket on the case rear, using a USB-->PS/2
adapter.  It's what I use on -this- box.

Cheers,
Paul.
