Reinstall XP Media mouse stops working then install

Hi all, hope someone can help!

I reinstall XP and I get a dialog box for my Audio Driver, but my mouse and keyboard stop working so I can't click the boxes to continue the installation? any ideas?

Thank you

Brook

How do you reinstall your system?  You boot from a DVD or you press a key at the beginning of the boot sequence that triggers an install from a recovery partition?  If you use a recovery partition, maybe this partition is corrupted as well (disk crash?).  In this case, drag the backup DVD that you did when you got your machine and try to start those.  Usually a part of a resettlement total of causes Windows reformatting the hard drive. If get you there, choose the full format, not the "quick" format

If you think you may have hardware problems, you can try to use another machine to create Linux Livecd such as Knoppix orUbuntu , and boot from that (use the 'Try Me' mode if Ubuntu).  If you have hardware problems, then the start of these CDs would probably fail as well.

  • on dv6 fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton 2012

    Fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton Internet Security 2012 on both of my notebooks from HP.

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Error message in Device Manager under biometric devices in Device Manager displays an exclamation mark beside validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018). The following message is under the general tab: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

    Driver is present and seems to be up-to-date.

    Appreciate your help.

    I have finally isolated the problem of my software lack of HP dv6 fingerprint reader. I think Norton Removal Tool, available online at www.symentec.com/nrt, was the reason. I am sure this conclusion because the exact same problem occurred after I installed Norton Internet Security 2012 on laptop HP same as my wife. I tried, in vain, to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the biometric fingerprint device provided by Validity Sensors, Inc.

    After spending a day and a half to try to "solve" the problem, I decided to restore my system and go back to the prior agreement of the point of the installation of Norton. Thank you HP to make this process quick and painless. Don't forget that if you installed anything after the restore point, it will have to be reinstalled.

    Fortunately, there's a less intrusive on CD of Norton removal tool. This utility uninstalls an older version of Norton you are requested to restart and then installs the latest NIS. It is a method of removal safer that wide brush offered by the Norton Online link, which wipes everything remotely suspect.

    After reinstalling Norton Internet Security 2012 from the CD, everything works as it should, including the fingerprint reader.

  • Windows Explorer stops working, then restarts

    Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer stops working, then restarts whenever a windows in the start menu program is closed. In some programs in the start menu, such as Documents, pictures, music, games, computer, control, devices and printers, ect. The error message indicates that windows Explorer has stopped working and controls a solution. Then after about 10 seconds, all the desktop icons disappear, and then looks like windows Explorer restarts itself. I am running windows 7 since an upgrade of Vista. I reinstalled windows 7 upgrade kit and done all the recommended solutions to various web pages, but the problem persists. I talked to tech support and they say that, perhaps, some of the registry files are corrupted. The problem does not occur when I start the computer in safe mode. I have updated all drivers and updates of the window. I don't have a disk of Vista orginal software. Can I fix this on my own?

    Hi Michaeldaz,

    As the problem does not persist in safe mode, I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • My wireless mouse stop working

    My wireless mouse stop working... any suggestions? I put a new battery in it and it still does not work?

    Hi Glenna,

    Try a classic USB mouse to confirm that this isn't your system programs related to the mouse.

    Try using different USB ports in order to check that it is not a problem with that specific port.

    Try the mouse wireless on another computer to see if she's working.  That should help tell if the problem is with the mouse or with the computer.

    If it came with the software, firmware and drivers, try to reboot to see if that solves the problem.

    If she just started recently, try a system restore to a point in time before that the problem started.  If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html.

    If the mouse doesn't work no matter what you try (on any computer), then chances are it is defective and must be replaced.  If it works on other computers, but not on this computer, then further efforts will be necessary to try to track down the problem.  If the above does not resolve the problem, after return with the results of what you have tried and what version of Windows are you using and the manufacturer, brand and model number accurate and complete of the wireless mouse.  Then this thread will probably be moved to where it should be (this is for feeback on the forums, the issues not techniques on mouse problems) and the people in this forum will also offer assistance.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Several troubleshooting methods:

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have
    EVER had on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which)
    may cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java
    installs and it causes more questions - have you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again.) Search
    other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look
    right. Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If doubt about a program
    ask about it here.

    Could not be a free - SpyBHOremover - BHO - standalone program, needs no installation, download.
    unzip and run - all are not bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).
