| Newbie | USB mouse and keyboard not working Hello, I dont know if im posting in the right area or if I should even post here with vista 32bit but im desperate to get this fixed. ok While I was trying to uninstall the drivers for my Zune I accidentally uninstalled my mouse and keyboard drivers as well. my USB mouse and keyboard work on startup but as soon as vista boots the mouse no longer recieves any power. I cant logon to any users because theres no way I can click on a user. to the best of my knowledge my Keyboard is also useless can someone please help me? ![]() |

| Newbie | Re: USB mouse and keyboard not working I currently have a working install on a second harddrive in this computer. I was wondering if there was any way I can access the other windows install from this one and use it to fix the problem? I guess this also means that the problem is due to a driver because the mouse and keyboard work on the new install. |

| Administrator | Re: USB mouse and keyboard not working Hi Ehaic, See if you can boot into Safe Mode and reinstall the mouse and keyboard drivers from there. This will show you how to boot into Safe Mode if needed. Safe Mode If not, can you connect it by the PS/2 port or have a PS/2 keyboard that you can use temporarily until you install the drivers for your USB keyboard back? Shawn |

| Antidisestablishmentarian | Re: USB mouse and keyboard not working Second post shows the OP has a new issue - new install works with the KB and mouse as it should - so the new issues is trying to access all the old material on the other partition or drive. Obviously the BIOS is working correctly if the new install is working correctly. No need to muck around in there right now. However, trying to 'fix' the old install is going to prove to be hairy, as you'll need to be booted into that old install to actually do fixes, unless you can somehow load registry settings and find the drivers manually. Have you tried booting into the old install in Safe Mode and then checking the drivers for both mouse and KB, as Brink mentioned? Obviously you'll need a PS/2 KB and mouse to work until you can get the drivers installed.... |

| Antidisestablishmentarian | Re: USB mouse and keyboard not working I understand what you mean, but it doesn't seem right that the setting is the issue, because the OP is on the same computer, just a different install on a different HD, and it allows the computer to work on one install and not another indicates a driver problem as opposed to a BIOS setting.... USB mouse and keyboard not working
Failing that, I suggest following the advice in this post - Access information stored on old Hard Drive (a hint as to how to do this successfully is in the very next post). | ||||||||||||

| Antidisestablishmentarian | Re: USB mouse and keyboard not working Wait - the mouse no longer receives power, but the KB still works in the original boot - when you get to the logon screen try using either [TAB] or [Alt-Tab] and then [TAB] to select the user you want to pick, so you can log in. |
