It may well be what happened, as I was able to get back to Last Known Config
once and that's when I noticed it loading the device drivers for USB... I saw
it load 3 drivers, Generic USB Hub, USB Composite Device, USB Human
Interface... and it did this two times.
As to the PS2, for the mouse, I had to re-enable it in Bios, but it didn't
fix Win problem nor did using ps2 kybd. Again, not sure why, as I thought
that was different drivers/different hw.
Have tried System Restore off Vista install disk, but it never runs. It
SAYS it's running but nothing ever comes up. Ran Fix System and it says
nothing is wrong.
Sigh...
Thanks for trying.
