I am running XP Pro on a Compaq Armada M300 notebook. I recently
attempted to install a Logitech remote air mouse. During installation,
I was told that the installation program would uninstall an older
Logitech mouse driver. After the computer started to reboot, it froze
at the login page -- the page where I click on my icon and type in a
password. The mouse arrow was frozen in the center of the screen. I
attempted a safe mode boot, but no pointing device there either. I
just noticed that the network card was apparently working, so
attempted to access files from my desktop. Lo and behold, I
sucessfully accessed files on my laptop from my desktop, so the
machine is not dead??? What can I do to get my pointing device back. I
am unable to use arrow keys or any other method to navigate to a
possible solution.

How were you able to access files on your desktop without a working
mouse or keyboard?

My desktop is fully functional and is networked with the frozen
laptop. I can go to my network places on my desktop and actually open
files on my laptop.

In that case you can uninstall the laptop's mouse software.

I cannot run a program on the laptop from the desktop. I can only
open documents/images, etc.
