Safe Mode/keyboard failure

[Steve T]

Was on the phone with cable tech support regarding download speed issues.
After rebooting into Safe Mode with Networking several times and going
online for speedtests, I started to get Keyboard failure message during
boot. Mouse freeze's too. Everything loads and works fine with normal
startup. Never been an issue before when going into Safe Mode for various
reasons in the past. How do I get keyboard and mouse to work again in Safe
Mode? XP-SP2. Thanks, Steve T.

I only can think in one thing a Vundo variant at work?.
Or which I hope a bad Keyboard and mouse, let's hope.
But try to scan for malware and viruses, I have been up against one of them
recently, got the best out of me but I managed to clean up the system.
Good luck.

Ran my CA AV and it found nothing. Ran Spybot and Ad-Aware 2007 and they
found nothing. Ran SuperAntispyware and it found 2 items:
Rootkit.NDT2-1 item, and
Trojan.Downloader-Gen/NDT2-1 item.
Don't know if these could be the problem but will get back if they are not.

So far my keyboard is back in working condition in Safe Mode. Haven't done
anything extra other than what I already posted. Steve T.
