Nathan,

Thanks for the help, but the problem is I can't even boot
the machine. Once it gets to the Logon screen (where it
says "Hit 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete'" to logon) the keyboard does
not work at all. Neither does the mouse. Like I stated
in my original post, it works fine for changing setup
things (hitting F8 while it starts up). But then it
doesn't work at all once it boots.

I think a clean re-install of XP is going to be required.
Thanks for the help though.

BW
