(before we start) after a virus attack I personally would copy off data you need, reformat and reinstall from scratch. This repairs a lot of damage. If you can do this then ignore everything else in this post and try the reinstall. (1) Many prebuilt XP systems (from HP, etc.) had custom keyboard drivers. Check the web site for your manufacturer and see if you can download their XP drivers for keyboard. When you install them you will force windows to refresh the keyboard drivers and this may fix. (2) Using the USB keyboard, open device manager (google to find how) and look for yellow exclamation point devices. Delete ALL of them by highlighting and using the delete key. Delete all keyboard devices (HID devices). Delete anything that looks 'wrong'. Reboot. Windows will reinstall all the right drivers. Power down, install the PS2 keyboard and see if windows can find/install the XP PS2 keyboard drivers. No responses so I'll take a stab.

Worked just like it's supposed to and I now have my PS/2 keyboard and mouse working again. Now on to my other problem. The incident of the keyboard not working happened some time back. A few weeks ago I got hit with the XP Antivirus 2012 virus! I have it cleaned out now. Ran Dr. Web, Malwarebytes Antimalware and SpyBot in succession in Safe Mode and all three came out fine. However, I have individual desktops set up for my wife and myself. I was working on mine when the virus hit and now cannot operate through that desktop. All icons either return the "Open With" window or "ERROR Application Not Found" message. The computer works just fine from my wife's desktop and I set up a new desktop for myself from which I am able to access all files. It was quarantined and deleted. I suspect it's absence may be my problem. This is a HP Pentium A1010Y. I have made the recover Cd's and have them available. I am about as hesitant of using them as I am on editing the Registry! According to the HP manual I can use them in "Standard Recover" without affecting any data files I have created on the computer. The other option is to use them for a "Full System Recovery" which formats the hard drive and looses everything. Guidance would be greatly appreciated. You should use an antivirus full time. "Microsoft security essentials" is free (google it) and runs on XP. Have it do a full scan of your system before you do anything else. Now, before other repair actions do a full backup of your current system to an external USB drive. XP professional has backup, but the other versions don't so you may need to buy a utility like 'acronis' or maybe HP has an installed backup utility. Then explicitly move any files you know you want (music, photos, copy of registry, etc.) to the USB drive. Then unplug the USB drive. Do not plug it back in. Fighting virus damage sometimes spirals into total system software fails which would force you to format/wipe the disk and lose data. Do not plug it into another computer unless your are SURE that the computer has up to date antivirus protection, you may have backed up active viruses to the usb drive. A virus does a lot of damage, some intentional and some by accident based on bugs in the virus. You can download a new copy of IE from Microsoft (google will find that too) to replace the quarantined one. If there are any other files in quarantine then google their names, find out what they are part of and download and reinstall. You can try the standard recovery once you have a safe copy of your data. I haven't used the HP standard recovery before. There are some notes about where your data goes that make me think its doing more than just reinstalling windows. skip the rest if you don't need a full system recovery If the standard restore leaves your system unstable, or if you just decide to skip to the full, destructive restore then good. This has the side benefit of fixing all the registry edits you've done and getting rid of all the debris that a system accumulates. However, A FULL SYSTEM RECOVERY kills everything back to original. All your photos, installed games, music, bookmarks, etc will be lost. I've done HP full installs a number of times. You MUST get rid of any USB attached devices other than mouse and keyboard. If you've swapped video cards there is a chance that the recovery will fail. If necessary swap back in the old video card (doesn't amke sense, but I've had recovery fail on a new card, work on old). Remove any PCI cards (network adapters, sound, raid controllers, etc. ) that were not in the initial configuration. Ypu've already burned a set of CD/DVD recovery media. Make a second set after you do full recovery (the system forgets about the first set when you do a full recovery). Once you do the full system recovery you must repetitively call windows update and reboot. Each time you call win update it'll load a new set of compatible changes. When you reboot you complete install of these changes and allow windows to install the next set. It can take hours on a fast connection to get back to current. Then make sure you have your antivirus running before you do anything else. Once you are service current and running an antivirus it's relatively safe to plug the USB drive in. Have your antivirus run a full/deep scan of the attached USB drive. Then start transferring over your files. I recommend a completely new install of Windows after getting rid of the old partition completely. If you have any important data on the drive, do like the previous poster said and copy it somewhere else and completely disconnect that drive first. You will plug it in and scan it thoroughly for viruses at the end of this process. I know from experience how hard things can be to remove completely and how much damage can be done to a system in the process. It is a standard government policy for many agencies to just blow everything away at the first sign of a virus and start over from scratch. There are programs that can get installed called Rootkits that can hide themselves from everything you can do to reveal it and it can sit in the background until the person who now controls your PC decides what they want to do with it. The safest bet is just blowing everything away. It is guaranteed to get rid of your problems completely if you have trusted reinstall media. Trusted media matters because viruses can worm their way into your backups and load themselves again when you restore your backups. how to care for ugg boots,where can i find uggs cheap,sale on ugg boots cheap,dillards ugg boots women,orange uggs,ugg nightfall
