"Windows Could Not Load The Installer for"

[tordenflesk]

Hi.

Having a bugger of a problem here.

a couple days back, when i booted my comp. i got a whole bunch of "Windows Could Not Load The Installer for Keyboard" and "Windows Could Not Load The Installer for Mouse" error messages and the driver update wizard re-installed both as "unknown" devices in their respective categories. Both the keyboard and the mouse were working fine, but getting these messages was getting pretty annoying. So i uninstalled the drivers for both, and reinstalled both. iTouch installed fine, but Intellipoint complained about not having enough space(there was plenty). Now I've uninstalled both from Device Manager and moved them to other USB-connections. Now, they won't work at all, and i keep getting the messages. Currently I'm using an old rubbish set of PS/2 Keyb. and Mouse.

I've been googling like mad trying to figure this out, but all i seem to find is people having to re-install Windows. Not even freaking MS Knowledgebase had heard about this error at all. Am i forced to format and start over?
