Title: XP pro Logon: Mouse and Keyboard freeze up.
Post by: bigfootballboot on April 08, 2007, 04:17:41 PM

XP pro Logon: Mouse and Keyboard freeze up.

Mouse cursor moves OK until the first keystroke in Log On Password box. Both keyboard and PS/2 
mouse freeze up.

No joy in Safe Mode and no error messages.

Until recently I was able to load without a password but now there is the User-name of the previous owner.

I did get to A:\ Dos prompt but could not change drive to D:\ or C:\. Please advise.

I have loaded 5 out of 6 XP Startup floppies. #6 has error message 'Unmountable_boot_volume.

I do have an original Windows XP pro disk but it was not bought with this computer.

I have changed the BIOS settings to force a boot from this CD but it only gets me back to the Log on page again.

Your help will be much appreciated.
