Did it start doing this AFTER the video card was installed? Are you sure the video card is compatible with your computer?

[Jordan]

well i have the card on my motherboard but i cant install the drivers because my keyboard and mouse dont work =P but i know it was made for windows so i dont think thats the problem, it have one of those "made for windows XP" stickers so ya...

Do those two devices work on a different PC (borrow one if you have to)? do a different Keyboard and mouse work on your machine?

[Jordan]

i swaped mouses and still no luck =(

Okay. does your mouse work on the other machine?

[Jordan]

yes it does

You do not require a bootable diskette for Windows XP. You can simply boot from the CD-ROM.

Then it's an issue with your computer. Your mouse and keyboard are fine. are your mouse drivers current AND are they installed?

[Jordan]

i think so, if they arnt would i be albe to use my keyboard and mouse if the disk was in the disk tray?

Make absolutely certain, okay?

You need to do this........take the gforce card back out of the mobo....reboot pc...........hold down whatever key you need to enter the bios setup.........now disable the onboard graphics .........shut pc down.......now replace the geforce card........and re-start pc..........

[Raptor]

You did connect the Mouse to the mouse connector and the keyboard to the keyboard connector. Not the other way around...?
