Hello,
I was doing a Windows XP repair because I had a corrupt file when a Hardware Installation warning came up for my Creative X-Fi. I wanted to continue the installation but I have a cordless mouse and it's not registering so I can't move my cursor to click any buttons. Is there any other way to continue the installation? I am stuck with 34 minutes to go.

Also, the last backup I did was a few months back and I have pics from the holidays and files I don't want to lose by doing a clean install.

Thanks for any help you can give.

If the keyboard still responds you can use the TAB to highlight the buttons (little broken box is around the active button) and Enter will select the option currently highlited.

Unfortunatley the keyboard doesn't seem to be responding either. I tried plugging in a USB mouse with a cord as well with no results. I may just have to reboot the computer if there's no other option. I know it's going to cause problems though.

Ok, I rebooted the system and it restarted the repair. I still have all my files but I have the start and taskbar but no icons on my desktop. Is there a way to recover those?

*edit* Nevermind, found the problem. Just had to "show icons".
