okay.. so now my computer works again (well the fact that it can go to XP again) but i think there is a virus in my computer because all my usb ports and my card reader ports do not work with xp.. they are not broken because when im using ubuntu, they work just fine.. is there a virus that does this ?

Yeah and last time before XP stopped working, this started to happen too

How did you restore your computer?
Did you go back to a restore point or did you do a reformat and reload of the OS?

Please Go to
1: STARTand the click on RUN
2: Type in devmgmt.msc
3: Click Enter
4. Look for any entries with Yellow Exclamation ! marks or Red X's

In your next reply please include those results

[alexander255110]

Man this is weird.. There aren't any with the yellow exclamation mark next to them nor x marks
but my mouse still doesn't work (I've been navigating around with my keyboard)
and yes I reformatted my OS everything I had before is lost...

thanks
