Windows me safe mode no keyboard or mouse

However, if you entered safe mode through msconfig, then you will need a keyboard to exit safe mode. If your keyboard is not working, then we suggest using an external keyboard and mouse to enable exiting the safe mode. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Sorry for the delayed response.

I stand corrected regarding the keyboard as we were pertaining to the device as a laptop. Since you're using a desktop with an external keyboard on it, have you tried plugging it on different ports on your computer? If you have and it is still not working, then we suggest using a different keyboard to be able to exit safe mode and see if it will work.

If the issue still persists, you might have to consider resetting your computer. We noticed the post has been inactive for 48 hours now.

Hello All, I needed to uninstall a program from my computer and the uninstall process wouldn't complete so I was told on the program's community forums that it can be uninstalled through Safe Mode, so I put my computer in Safe Mode through boot settings.

The only solution may be to reinstall your OS: sorry. Similar threads B. Windows XP keyboard and mouse won't work after boot up. BeatWiz Jun 3, Ask a Question. Replies 4 Views Sep 30, Pete Williams. Wired mouse sticking but not on other PCs.

Thus, if anyone out there knows of 1 some small bootstrap program that does not involve going though Windows 7, but will boot up and install a driver of any kind that will get Windows 7 to acknowledge I exist, or 2 a way to get my Windows 7, Ultimate to boot up with such a device driver, or 3 a way for me to access my device manager from outside of my windows environment, or 4 since I can install any program I care to using the system repair operation, some way I can get system repair to install such a driver, I would be eternally grateful.

Ah, this sounds like quite the conundrum - "Here type this - oh wait, no keyboard" seems to be what I keep running into. Can you boot into command-prompt mode only? And does the keyboard work from there? I've had a machine with a very similar issue, and it turned …. If you are able to get keyboard functionality from the previous post you might be able to run system restore by executing. Are you using a USB keyboard or mouse?

Try unplugging them and plugging them into another port forcing the driver to load. If not then use one. Also try toggeling the numlock or caps lock to see if the keyboard changes the lights. I've had a machine with a very similar issue, and it turned out to be a virus infection that wrote a driver into the System.

Drove me bonkers for quite a while. You might have an entry in win. Further, I can boot into safe mode command prompt, but that prompt simply sits there and will not accept any key action from my keyboard.

See my original response 11 , above. I have done everything conceivable. Changed ports Tried a serial mouse Tried a wired mouse direct to a number of different usb ports Well, if you can't boot into safe mode that way, how about using a boot disk like Bart PE or something similar to be able to still look at the boot config files?

There might be something in there as it sounds like something that loads into memory that gives you trouble. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit.

BartPE is no help. But I appreciate that you're taking the time to think about my problem. I would gladly buy a new Windows Ultimate 64 bit if it would just give me my drivers back. But buying one would just give me another copy of what I already have as an original legal product that was OEM.

I'm not looking for a new clean install, since I know that would solve my problem. I simply want to save the installation I already have with all my other applications. But I'm sure you understand that. But your kb and mouse both work in BIOS? Then you have a UEFI? BIOS, which can pick up the drivers from a special partition. So your BIOS is not handing over correctly to your OS during boot - the W7 drivers should load, and then depending upon your setup any proprietary drivers would be loaded from the Run key or wherever.

Use your W7 dvd and Setup, boot from that; it will use the W7 keyboard and mouse drivers. If it works then create a new partition, load a fresh W7 into that and see how your gear works.

Or haul the drive out, slave into another machine and go from there. But it is rather strange that both those sets would die; they are loaded independently from the Service key; kb, mouse are unrelated. Do you have any software installed that might modify those drivers, some proprietary HAL for them?

I'm thinking that you could import the registry hive and modify the key that starts it. That's what I would try, it would not be the drivers If you are interested in that path, say and I will advise.

I'm musing here I figured you'd be able to access the sytem files etc. Now I'm curious to know if that will work. For Gerbil: Thank you for your interest in my problem. I'm sorry that I am not so prompt getting back and forth, because it seems like I'm juggling six balls. I still have the problem, and you seem to be the expert that might dig me out. But I'm at a loss about certain processes you suggested. I have been going downhill with my amateur efforts.
