Answer Question
xp professional- system boots but cannot get mouse to operate in P/S2 or usb
I have a six years old system manufactured by Tiny, AMD 3400+, 250 gig HDD and 1 gig RAM and is loaded with genuine XP Professional.I purchased both XP Professional and XP Home Edition Genuine discs which have been installed and validated umpteen times over the past six years.Recently the mouse has stopped working on both P/S2 and USB.The keyboard only works in USB and only when the system boots.This means that I cannot get into BIOS or any other set-up programme.Even when I load a disc, switch off (by unplugging as the mouse is inoperabile) and restart the disc is ignored until the system boots up. I can keep tapping keys until the cows come home but nothing happens until it has finished booting. I can only load discs after booting as the system is set to boot from the hard drive. Is there a solution to this as I can no longer afford to go to a computer repairer.I only use this as a secondary system as I intended selling it on. Any advice would be appreciated, not too technical as going into the internals of the system is beyond my limited knowledge.The only times I have opened the tower is to clean it with a pressure can to remove dust.
