WinXP HID Devices gone! no mouse or keyboard!

[Damnation]

Hi all, Merry Christmas

I recently reinstalled XP on my machine and it was working fine up until just yesterday.

The mouse and keyboard have disappeared from my device manager, I'm trying to figure out how I can reinstall them. - The mouse/KB are working fine when i boot windows 10.

I can still access and use my XP install through Remote Desktop, so can anyone help me to get the mouse and keyboard reinstalled on XP?

any help would be appreciated, thanks

Press f8 then select last known working configuration before boot

what is your configuration?

I tried that, doesn't work

the only thing that has worked so far is a complete reinstall of XP

by configuration, do you mean my hardware?

motherboard: GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK

graphics card: nvidia GTX 970

soundcard: audigy rx

I've managedto get drivers for XP for all my devices (no "other devices" listed in device manager)

I can still log into the machine via remote desktop to access things, from there I can access device manager and see mouse and keyboard are gone.

It's just this strange mouse and keyboard disappearing thing that's bothering me, and it only happens once i boot into another OS.

any ideas?

is there a way i might reinstall the mouse and keyboard?

I can still access via remote desktop, so any ideas are welcome

remove mouse keyboard then put it again

[Damnation]

that's one of the first things i tried, no change

OK,

I've reinstalled XP, I've got a screenshot of device mager with mouse and keyboard present, should be attached.

I'm about to restart, it's gonna disappear again

mouse and keyboard gone

I think I might have figured out what is happening, but not how to fix it

I backed up the mouse and keyboard registry entries, restored them through remote desktop, then restarted, it works again until i leave XP then I have to restore again

any idea how to block registry entries from being altered?

kbdclass.reg.working.txt

mouclass.reg.working.txt

reg keys while broken

kbdclassbroken.reg.txt

mouclassbroken.reg.txt

They are the same. The difference might not be in that location anyway, it might be in ENUM, but are you sure it isn't a hardware failure?

If it was a hardware failure, wouldn't I be experiencing these issues with other OSes as well?

Possibly. But not at all necessarily...

Is the mouse connected to the keyboard and the keyboard to the machine? Or do each use its own separate usb connector on the machine?

[Dibya]

Is it connected to usb 3.0 port from intel? I have seen during setup those ports work and after restart stop working... it's a bit confusing. If os cannot contact usb 3.0 port, then how can it work, actually?

If so, do enter bios and then disable XHCI.

[Damnation]

they each have their own cable going into their own usb 2.0 port
