Here's another one of those “in case you have this problem too” posts.
While doing a Windows-XP repair install, during the “Installing Drivers” phase of the install, a dialog popped up about my nVidia graphics board, asking if I wanted to install the unsigned driver. Yes, I did, but I couldn't tell it that because some short time before that dialog popped up, both my mouse and keyboard became unresponsive.
On a whim, I went out and bought an old PS/2 mouse (really a USB mouse with a PS/2 adapter), and with the PS/2 mouse, it could actually continue. Phew!
(I still hate Windows)

I have a new pc that has no PS/2 mouse slot (or keyboard, either). Have you posibly heard in the meantime from anyone with this problem and no PS/2 slots? Your page is the only one I have found after hours of searching. I am so discouraged. If you have, could you possible drop me a note with the answer? If you can, I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you.
I had this problem too except…my PS/2 ports are also unresponsive. So I’m stuck there, without a keyboard or a mouse, with the driver cd in my drive, but I can’t tell Windows to look there.
/gg?
