keyboard and mouse doesn't work

I changed the drive routines for the keyboard to be able to use japanese
characters (to someting called USB Office-something 106/109) but then the
mouse and the keyboard froze and now I can't do anything to make it work.
I'm using another computer right now to be able to right this.
Everything starts as usual but I can't do anything since either the mouse or
the keys work.
Help please!

Re: keyboard and mouse doesn't work

Are you talking about driver? If you have a driver problem, in device
manager, roll back the driver, or uninstall the device and let it find a
driver. Do the keyboard and mouse work during post.

Re: keyboard and mouse doesn't work

I am not able to do that since I cannot move the mouse or use the keys.
The only place I can move anything is in DOS. But can I reach the device
manager from there?

Re: keyboard and mouse doesn't work

As you boot up your computer, right at the start, tap the F8 key. You will
get a list of options; take the one to go into Safe Mode.

When you are there> Start> right-click Computer>Properties> Then
Tasks>Device Manager> Keyboard.

Also System Restore: Start> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore.
You can take the computer back in time before you installed the new keyboard
driver.

You also have the option of system Restore from within the Vista DVD

Re: keyboard and mouse doesn't work

You can use your installation DVD to do a restore to before you installed or
changed the driver.
