I have a problem with my computer.
If i boot Windows XP, it starts just fine, but when the desktop is displayer, the cursor doesn't show up, and my keyboard stops responding. The only thing i can do, is hold the power button and wait for it to shut down. I can't figure the problem, since it worked just fine yesterday... But if i boot from Vista, (Which i do now) it works just fine.
The last thing i did on my XP, was install "USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA"-drivers. But after that, i re-booted twice without that error.
Any ideas how to fix that? (Since i don't want to lose my data by re-installing XP)

Since my previous post got removes within 3 hours, i'll try again, explaining the problem a little better.
When i try to boot Windows XP Home Edition SP2, It boots perfectly until the desktop appears. The cursor was usually the first thing showing up, and then the rest. Now, the cursor doesn't show up, and the keyboard is not responding.
But, Windows continues to launch applications, if there were no problems at all. It's not freezing. Only thing is, that i can't do anything except shut it down. Because of that, i can't check out what could be wrong.
I dual-boot between Vista and XP. There is no problems with Vista at all.
(PS: If this is a generic problem, please give me a link to another topic.)
I'm on an Acer Extensa 5230.
Some Intel processor 2.0 GHZ
Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Display adapter)
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Please help me with this one, since i don't want to re-install Windows XP.
