Default USB error message

I am receiving this error message when plugging in a keyboard:

"one of the usb devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned, and
windows does not recognize it."

Here is the sequence of events that led to this message:

I spilled bottled water on my keyboard.


Some keys became unresponsive, others didn't type what they should. Some of the unresponsive keys didn't have water spilled on them.


The number 1 continually printed without me hitting any keys and it would not stop.


Now none of the keys are responding


Unplugged keyboard


Received error message


I am using XP Pro.

Does that message mean it won't recognize it in the future? Is it possible
the keyboard needs more time to dry? It has been about 15 hours since the
water went into the keyboard.

I tried the USB port on another computer and received the same message.

Is my keboard fried?
