I have win2k pro. Running just fine then poof! Started pc one morning and
no ps/2 mouse or ps/2 keyboard. Grabbed a usb mouse from a Mac G4,
rebooted, started pcanywhere with the mouse, backed up, played all day
trying to figure out what the hell happened. Ended up formatting and
reinstall / restore. Try a usb mouse/keyboard.
Just realized the post was from 2/20/2004. I think this is a bit late.
Anyone seen this before
