Re: Keyboard and trackpoint stopped working

Hi all,

I know this isn't exactly linked to the model computer I own, but I thought the experts might be able to offer some advice. I was recently infected with a Trojan, and after removing it with a reputable program, the keyboard and trackpoint mouse have stopped working. When I get the windows login screen, the trackpoint works fine, but the second I press any key, both keyboard and mouse become totally frozen.

 

Any ideas as to how I can get them back up and working? Clearly, they (at least the mouse) are not totally fried b/c it works fine before I touch the keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kate

Re: Keyboard and trackpoint stopped working

Sounds like you damaged a Windows system file or device driver.    I'd run SFC  /SCANNOW to check the system files.   You may need to boot in safe mode, off another drive or try attaching a different keyboard/mouse.  I'd also reinstall the drivers for the keyboard/mouse.
