Message: [QUOTE="NadineH, post: 13274729"] I have been trying to re-install a software package, since Thurs. I have been working with tech support for the software vendor with no success. In yet another attempt, I decided to try a system restore. My first attempt at the system restore, I chose a point in time that I thought would be early enough to take me back to full function. On reboot, Windows came back saying that the system restore couldn't be done for that date, nothing had been changed on my computer, and I was free to try another date. So I chose a date a little earlier than the first and tried again. Same result. The next attempt was a little later than the first one. Still no go. Then I chose the last possible date that would have any value. It completed the restore and rebooted once again. When the logon screen came up, I had no keyboard or mouse. Neither would allow me to input the password. I did a soft reset on my power switch and Windows shut down. I started it again thinking that it was a bad reboot. But it came up to the logon screen again and I still had no keyboard or mouse. I tried a different keyboard and mouse before using the soft reset again. Still no keyboard or mouse. I was able to get into the BIOS setup and navigate through it with the original keyboard. I booted up in safe mode and got to the logon screen again and still had no keyboard or mouse. I put the original XP CD in the drive and booted to it. I'm now sitting witha command prompt. The keyboard is working just fine. But I don't know what to do at the command prompt. Can anybody tell me what to do next? [/QUOTE]
