SP3 was uninstalled from a system and now the USB drivers will not work and not allow the use of the USB mouse/keyboard.

Possible solutions I have thought of:

1. PCI USB controller, don't have one would have to buy it.

2. Use a preinstalled environment and somehow move the drivers over to windows. However, I do not know how to do this, and can't find any instructions.

A full reinstall is really not a good option in this situation.

Have you got PS/2 sockets that might get you through?

Have you considered installing SP3 again?

You never mentioned why SP3 was uninstalled.

Without knowing any system details, I can't think of anything else - other than guesses.

so I don't have all the exact details. SP3 had to come out for some reason or another and seems to have take the USB drivers with it.

I told him to swap the hard drive into another system with PS2 connectors because I couldn't think of quicker. Had to be done quick apparently.

What I'm really wondering now though is, is there any way to swap out drivers without going into windows itself. Is there some way to do this with recovery console or another OS or another working version of Windows?
