USB keyboard mouse failure at login
I know this has been brought up before but it has not been solved or at least none of the suggestions have worked over the last week I have been working of this problem. On one of my installs of Win 7 64 bit Ultimate is having an issue with the keyboard and mouse. They work fine in the UEFI but once I get too the login screen they do not work. I have tried changing the ports. The only USB ports on my board are the internal ports with a card on the back. Does not work. Tried a PS2 keyboard then mouse, did not work. Ran the system recovery. Cannot run because it is incompatible. Booted from the Win install disc, tried recovery console, safe mode, system restore, everything I can think of.
I added a new drive to the machine and did a fresh install. Everything works fine as is. I have tried to repair the original system drive. Cannot. I partitioned the SSD drive and tried to install windows on the partition but it will not because the partition is not a dynamic drive. I am afraid if I concert the drive I will lose all the data.
I can run the system with the new install and see everything on the original drive. Is there a way I can repair the MBR or whatever it is that is preventing the PC from recognizing input devices?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Would it be possible to remove the user on the original drive when I boot from the other win 7 install?
Maybe force it to create a new user on start up?
I do move my personal folder out of the user folder and put it right in the C drive. No sub folders to get to it.
Just to be clear, I have proven several things.
It is not a problem with the USB ports. It fails in both USB 3.0 and 2.0. Every USB port has been tried.
I connected a jump drive to every USB port and can use the drive with the other install.
It is not the keyboard or mouse. They work fine. I have tried four keyboards and multiple mice.
Please help, I am out of ideas. I know I could have just started over in much less time but I cannot let it win.
