Damnation Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hi all, Merry Christmas I recently reinstalled XP on my machine and it was working fine up until just yesterday. The mouse and keyboard have disappeared from my device manager, I'm trying to figure out how I can reinstall them. - The mouse/KB are working fine when i boot windows 10. I can still access and use my XP install through Remote Desktop, so can anyone help me to get the mouse and keyboard reinstalled on XP? any help would be appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that, doesn't work the only thing that has worked so far is a complete reinstall of XP by configuration, do you mean my hardware? motherboard: GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK graphics card: nvidia GTX 970 soundcard: audigy rx I've managedto get drivers for XP for all my devices (no "other devices" listed in device manager) I can still log into the machine via remote desktop to access things, from there I can access device manager and see mouse and keyboard are gone. It's just this strange mouse and keyboard disappearing thing that's bothering me, and it only happens once i boot into another OS. any ideas?

Damnation Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I think I might have figured out what is happening, but not how to fix it I backed up the mouse and keyboard registry entries, restored them through remote desktop, then restarted, it works again until i leave XP then I have to restore again any idea how to block registry entries from being altered? kbdclass.reg.working.txt mouclass.reg.working.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrofLuigi Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 They are the same. The difference might not be in that location anyway, it might be in ENUM, but are you sure it isn't a hardware failure? GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnation Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 If it was a hardware failure, wouldn't I be experiencing these issues with other OSes as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not at all necessarily... Is the mouse connected to the keyboard and the keyboard to the machine? Or do each use its own separate usb connector on the machine?

Dibya Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Is it connected to usb 3.0 port from intel? I have seen during setup those ports work and after restart stop working... it's a bit confusing. If os cannot contact usb 3.0 port, then how can it work, actually? If so, do enter bios and then disable XHCI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnation Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 they each have their own cable going into their own usb 2.0 port back of motherboard GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5378 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
