Keyboard and mouse not working

I have a wierd issue. I was trying to install Logitech drivers for the cordless keyboard and mouse, and something went crazy, computer restarted midway through the install, and now, my keyboard and mouse does not work. Not even the regular ones.

So I have to uninstall and reinstall the software drivers, but since I have no keyboard and mouse, thats a problem. The computer IS however, on the network, so I was thinkng of 2 options

1) I think the keyboard and mouse native windows driver files have been deleted, so I could return these files. But which files are these? I need to know, so I could place them from my other machine over the network

2) I somehow do a remote install of some remote management software such as VNC. I can access the drive, and using REGEDT32, I can access that machine's registry from another machine. But I need to know if there is some product I could remotely install and take over that machine with.

Can someone please help me with this right away? Its really important.

thank you.

thanks dude,

but I have tried those, and they dont work.

thats why I made those suggesstions.

 

Unless you had turned off System File Protection, the option in the 2nd link to replace your modifications with the previous/good/working settings and files should have done the trick and allowed you to boot up with a working kbd and normal rodent. That would be the part under "If you are NOT connected to a network (or the network only contains W9x computers): " and the first 4 steps.

And the remaining information should fix your issue - although there may be slight differences depending on the Logitech software/driver version. Hard to say since you didn't give a version number. The Microsoft online help files show a similar fix for version 8.x to the one unixfan listed that deals with version 9.x.

As to the remote control part, if all you need to do is edit the registry, you can certainly do that by running regedt32 from another machine and then selecting the problem machine and connect to it's registry remotely.
