Driver problem in XP.

[kathal_tdd]

Any of you bright fellas know how to delete a mouse driver if you cant start WinXP??
Cant even start in safe mode
When WinXP loads it sudenly restarts.
Was thinking of take the harddisk and place it in another WinXP PC and remove the driver there. But how do I remove a driver from the OS on the harddisk I didnt boot from??

backup your stuff on another machine, and format the disc, saves your time, rather than wasting time...

 

[kathal_tdd]

It should be posible to remove a driver on another OS than the one you boot on.

Have you tried to do a repair installation using the windows XP disc?

Failing that you could probably hook the drive up as a slave drive and install a fresh copy of windows onto it...

Formatting is a real bitch.

The gr8 thing about getting a PC in "one piece" with an OS is that you dont get a OS cd with it
Was thinking of doing the repair thing or install the OS over the one that is fubar, but I dont think it will fix it if it is a mouse, keyboard or video driver problem :/
Think Im gonna get a COPY of the XP cd.

I think there is a key in the reg database that I can delete that will fix my problem. But how do I get to it?
Either that or delete the driver that is fubar.

idiot,

don't format - simply re-install windows over the current installation OR in a clean directory.

Easy ppl.
Dont get all worked up about MY computer problem.
Jezz, you got more agro than me over this
Well, problem solved. Thx for the help.
HD in anothere PC with XP and deleted the Keyboard and mouse driver in the C:\windows\system dir.

 

[old.m0000]

im not getting worked up , just hate idiots who think they know best and post dangerous advice like FORMAT YOUR DRIVE. Formatting should always be a last resort in these things.

 

[kathal_tdd]

I agree with you on that
