Well I just did a windows repair.

Then I installed SP2 from downloading
offa microsoft.com the site.

Then, my mouse nor my keyboard
is working after I rebooted.

It works all the while it's before the
boot screen, then after it doesnt work.

( Boot screen as in, the WXP logo and
the progress bar, with black bg etc.. )

Cheers for any help

EDIT
Searched this forum, read about
corrupt registry..They gave me a
link on how to solve this, i'll try it
out and get back to you all, thanks.

I am not certain that the process in the KB article in your link will address your issue.

PS2 or USB keyboard? Do you have access to a different keyboard?

I assume that you cannot load in safe mode?


The way I would most likely handle it is to remove the keyboard in device manager and reboot, allowing Windows to reinstall

USB
You mean loosing all my files ?
Yes, I might have a sparekeyboard lying around
Device Manager ? How would I go abouts getting
into that ?

[Swift]

I guess noone can help me..

Im on my own computer right now using a PS2 keyboard and mouse...

[Swift]

It'd be awesome if one of you techies could help

Does the USB keyboard/mouse while in safe mode? Hit F8 repeatedly once you turn on your computer until a screen appears letting you choose to boot into safe mode. Choose SAFE MODE W/ NETWORKING.

I have exactly the same problem as this and i cant log into the computer in safe mode as the mouse and the keyboard wont work to log it in......
happened the same way after installing sp2 and other keyborads dont seem to work either.
Is there a way to run system restore from the xp cd..... as it works untill the boot screen

You need to plug in a normal PS/2 keyboard so that you can log into windows, then plug in your USB keyboard, let windows recognize it, then unplug the PS/2 keyboard and reboot and you should be fine. Same goes for the USB mouse.
