Keyboard and mouse not working.

[Patrick]

My computer has just recently downloaded some updates in order to run some
ISP software on my computer and since the update was installed my keyboard
and mouse will not work.

I have tried to reinstall the drivers and do a system restore but it makes
no difference.

Can anyone offer me any advice on how to resolve this problem?

Thanks.

What updates?

Keyboard and Mouse - How connected? USB, PS/1, DIN or perhaps
wireless/IR?

I'm a little surprised at how you were able to run system restore, etc.
without either mouse or keyboard. Was this from Safe Mode? If so then
can I ASSume that both keyboard and mouse work when in Safe Mode?

The computer had not been updated for a while and when i loaded the disc to
install the ISP software it said i needed to update windows me and it
proceeded to get the updates. After the updates had downloaded and i tried
to use the keyboard to type in some details for the ISP software, the
keyboard not work at all.

The keyboard is connected by USB and the mouse is PS/1.

Initially the mouse was OK, allowing me to run system restore. I did run
system restore to try and roll back to previous settings but it did not
restore the use of the keyboard so I tried reinstalling the drivers but no
joy either. Then the mouse stopped working. I tried unplugging them and
reconnecting them but no joy.

As i had no input device I switched off the computer and restarted it to see
if that would make any difference, still no joy.

I must admit i did not try to run it in safe mode as yet.

I will give safe mode a go and see what happens.

Many thanks for your help.

Further to my last post.

I restored my computer to factory settings and it took the updates without a
problem and everything is now working fine.

Many thanks for your help
