Registry Change Locks out keyboard/Mouse
Any help would be appreciated. I was trying to help my daughter gain access to her CD r/w drives which have quit working lately. I found some instructions showing changes to make in the registry in order to fully uninstall Roxio which they indicated would take care of the CD device access problem. I saved a copy of the registry in the default file/directory. While following the directions for editing, I noticed that the folder that had been indicated did not include the upperbound/lowerbound files that were mentioned (in the directions). The upperbound file did exist in a couple of other folders below the appropriate one so (embarassing) I deleted them (two, I believe). When I boot up now, it gets to the logon prompt (windows XP home edition) but I can't log in due to the keyboard (and mouse, tab, arrows, etc) not working. I would like to be able to replace the file I screwed up with the saved file, but I'm kind of at an empasse because I don't have a boot disk to work with. Sorry to make this so lengthly, but I guess I'm looking for a download site which would have a boot disk with enough functionality to copy the backup registry file to the appropriate place. The disk would need to be a 3 1/2" size.
Again; Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Paul
