You could also try a REPAIR Install, but I have a feeling you will NOT beable to have access to the Keyboard or Mouse:

Other than this (If the repair does not work) you may have to do a complete CLEAN Install:

In either case you still may retrieve your personal data by slaving the HD to a working PC BEFORE you do anything.

Bill, thanks for your advice and efforts! I tried a USB mouse yesterday as well as another plug in mouse, no go. When I deleted the upper and lower filters I merely followed the instructions on a microsoft file. My computer genius buddy can't look at it until the weekend so I thought I'd give it my best shot in the mean time. He usually hits a few keys drinks all my beer and we're back on track!
Again, thank you for all your advice, good advice at that!
Joe
