Good morning! I hope I am posting this to the correct forum.
I have two installations of XP Pro on my PC, one on C drive and the other on
D drive. Everything was working fine till a couple of days back when I
noticed that I could not use the installation on C drive because the mouse
and keyboard were completely frozen even though I could see the desktop. It
doesn't seem to be a hardware problem since the same keyboard and mouse work
fine when I boot into my D drive. I have tried connecting another keyboard
and mouse while booting into C drive but with the same result. Since they
are completely frozen I can't go in and delete them from the Device Manager,
open the registry, or reinstall the drivers. That's the Catch-22 situation.
I can access C drive through the Windows Explorer when I log into D drive
but that doesn't help much even though I replaced some related drivers on C
drive with those on my D drive..
I would be grateful to receive any advice regarding this tricky problem.
Thank you!
