Got a bit of a wierd one..
got 2 machines, both AMD 1GHz... Both using Windows XP Pro, one with SP1, one without.
On one of them, a 3Com sportster modem was added (its external) and now... the mouse and keyboard don't work sometimes when Windows loads.
You can reboot and it still won't work, although sometimes... a reboot cures it.
I thought... hmmm... gotta be the modem, Since though, on the other machines, which is my dad's i've come over to France to visit him and fit a modem, so I can keep in touch with him that way... This particular modem is a Hayes Internal 56k modem, which requires you to install the drivers prior to installing the modem, i didnt do this to start off with, i installed the modem, rebooted and the mouse and keyboard wouldnt work at all... ah ha ! I thought....
Took the modem out, rebooted... M+K worked again, I installed the software, re-installed the modem, Windows picked it up...all's good
My problem is though, I've still got this problem at a lady's house back home with the sportster and every now and again my dad's machine's doing it to.
wierd wierd wierd.
both PC's are using Gigabyte GA-7ZXE's, both are 1GHz t'birds and XP as i've said.
My dad's has a SBLive!, where the other only has a SB128 PCI.
Nothing else is similar really.
I'm stumped really... this was never a problem, when both machines had WinME, although WinME is Y-fronts
Any help would be appreciated guys !
Thx in advance
