RE: USB Devices stopped working altogether

The same issue is occurring after I rebooted from installing Cisco VPN client
4.7. This seems to be my first mistake because this version is not compatible
with Vista.

Biggest issue is the keyboard and mouse are usb and no PS2 port on PC. Vista
will boot to the login screen but without the keyboard or mouse it seems my
only next step is to reinstall. Any other suggestions?

PC - Dell Dimension E520
Vista 32 bit home premium
