Let me start from the beginning:
So, this morning, I started my computer and my keyboard and mouse wouldn't respond. No big deal right? I'll just unplug and replug them in. No dice. I have since determined this is a problem with Windows 7 because:
- I can use my keyboard in the BIOS settings.
- I can use my mouse in the Windows 7 bootable usb.
My first thought was to repair windows without losing my files. However, I need to run the boot USB when I'm already in Windows 7 and, as I'm not able to login without a keyboard, this is not possible.
Now I want to reset my drivers, as I think that's the problem. I looked online and came across this post. It says to run sysprep to reset the drivers and the SID.
But... the SID? That sounds important. What happens if I reset it, will my PC not able to initialize due to a wrong security code? Is this even the correct way to resolve this program?
I am completely lost here and so any help is extremely appreciated...
