My mouse pointer is inoperatable. How can I check boxes without it. My keyboard still works.

When using keyboard use TAB to move to selected areas and space bar to check and uncheck radio buttons and check boxes.

I unchecked some boxes in the msconfig window.
this caused the problem upon rebooting.

You can navigate through most windows programs using the "Windows" kay and the curser, tab, Alt and spacebar keys.

Windows Key brings up the start menu.
Cursor up to the run menu, hit enter
Type in msconfig
hit enter.
Use the tab and arrow keys to move around the menus.
Use the spacebar to select and unselect checkboxes
apply the changes, and close msconfig.

Reboot.
