- 'Safe Mode' to bring up Mouse and Keyboard functionability?
- Posted by maligod on February 11th, 2006
Hi:
After 'System Restore,' Mouse and keyboard does NOT working at all,
even I put a brand new mouse that worked just few seconds, and it was
dead. Keyboard is flushing 'NumLock' that not able to 'cancel' due to
'dead' keyboard function.
I'm typing this thread by using a friend's computer, because my computer
does not recognize both 'mouse' and 'Keyboard.'
I hooked up both by 'USB' with WindowsXP Home Edition that was
pre-installed by HP.
Only way I can get Mouse and Keyboard is 'Safe Mode?'
Or, what procedure would be to get Mouse and keyboard back?
How to bring up 'Safe Mode?'
Thanks always for your help in advance.

On my old computer the system BIOS had a setting on whether to allow the
keyboard to the USB or not. Might be worth having a look (with a keyboard
that doesn't use USB).
As for the mouse or safe mode, sorry, can't help you there.
