RE: Installing RAS disabled keyboard/mice

Title: Message

For no apparent reason other than a hunch, I checked the boot.ini file and the loading options had been modified to start WinNT without a mouse. I removed the offending parameter and rebooted, with a mouse but without a keyboard still. The kbdclass key looked fine to me, but I still couldn't get a keyboard, so I ran NT Setup with the repair option and I ended up with a keyboard but without a network. Totally frustrated by then, I chose the fdisk way...   Thanks for your suggestions, guys.

When I booted into safemode, the KB worked. This happened after I updated win2k to sp2. I tried a few different makes of kb’s, and the problem actually went away. I never did figure it out! If you guys find the culprit, post it back here, that one pissed me off! jlc   -----Original Message----- From: Eric Peeters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2001 10:50 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Installing RAS disabled keyboard/mice   I can't tell for the mouse, but the keyboard works fine up until after the "last known good profile" screen. Then does it become inoperative. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 2:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Installing RAS disabled keyboard/mice Hardware? did you perhaps disable them in the CMOS???     Kevinm WLKMMAS*TM, QWSZC, VRY+Y, NFH, SAD-VF, DERSDESDFG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More letters after my name makes me Smarter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ please respond back to rent this ad space for your needs -----Original Message----- From: Eric Peeters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2001 9:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Installing RAS disabled keyboard/mice Hello week-enders, I installed RAS in order to enable a remote user to use her modem (read, I'm scrambling to survive the Rhythms shutdown) on a WinNT SP6a PC. After reboot, the keyboard and PS/2 mouse were inoperative. Connecting to the logs from a different PC, I found out that the following three devices/services wouldn't load at start-up (error message 7026) : kbdclass, lmoufltr, mouclass. I tried rebooting in VGA mode or with the last known good hardware config, neither helped, nor did it do any difference when I rebotted the machine with the mouse and keyboard unplugged. The user "lost" the ERD (or in clearspeak, never bothered to do one despite my instructions). Anyone has a suggestion that'd let me revive this PC without reinstalling NT. I'm thinking reinstalling SP6 may solve the problem, but how do I do that when the keyboard and the mouse are inoperative ? Thanks in advance.
