Mouse and keyboard not working

hey ppl. First post here. Here goes...

I don't know what I did, but for some reason my mouse and keyboard are no longer working. I've tested both in another computer and they work. The keyboard works in Bios, but as soon as windows loads both keyboard and mouse freeze - num-lock light as well.

The computer isn't crashing as windows continues to load (although, much slower than before). Attempted a repair install, but when windows loads to complete setup keyboard & mouse still not working.

Not sure what the problem is. And really don't want to do a complete install as haven't backed up the majority of my data.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advanced.

System spec:
Windows xp home addition. SP2.
P4 processor 3.00GHz, 800fsb, 1MB cache
1024MB DDR2 400MHz Memory
160GB (7200rpm) SATA hdd
PS/2 mouse & keyboard
 
Hmm... maybe its a hardware problem....

Do you have a USB mouse/keyboard you could try?
 
Safe mode work?
Recovery Console?
If it's a driver you need to get in to the registry some how.

Could be a virus or something trashed it purposefully. Try taking your hard drive out and scan it for viruses from another PC.

Good luck
