Keyboard/mouse not working

LBIguard · 05-05-2008, 07:15 AM

I recently removed a usb kvm switch from my computer.
Now I can not get my mouse to work on usb (will work with ps2 adapter) keyboard works while booting but stops a few minutes after windows starts.

I am running win xp pro w/sp2. I tried updating to sp3 but had more problems so I reverted to an earlier save point hoping my keyboard/mouse would work again.

I have removed all usb drivers from device manager and just tried booting with keyboard/mouse still no luck. There was no software for the kvm it was an IOGEAR MiniView Micro 2-Port USB KVM Switch w/Audio. I tried hooking my mouse up to my laptop and it worked perfect.

Thank you for all your help

Check in your device manager for problems in the usb section.

Do you mean a yellow question mark? There are none. If there is anything else to try I am open to anything. I also triend installing the latest driver from logitech.

in the device manager click on view at the top and in the dropdown
show hidden devices
then uninstall all listed usb items
turn the computer off
unplug usb plugs
reboot twice
replug in the usb plugs
