I have had the very same problem since Oct 25th!!! Can't seem to get
satisfactory answer. I came back to my Win XP/SP3 after putting it to sleep
and the hard drive was off. When I booted up I got the message that the
keyboard and mouse was not recognized (USB mouse/keyboard) I tried rebooting
several times...even tried using mouse and keyboard on my old W98 machine
that I am using now and they both work. If there was a way to get to system
restore I would go back but it's a little difficult when the keyboard and
mouse don't work....kinda like clapping with one hand.
Thanks for any help you can give!
