Temporarily use a ps/2 keyboard and go to the logitech
site to download the latest xp drivers for the mouse and
keyboard. They are executable installs so that you can
start the installations from the Run line.....using the
ps2 keyboard, of course. If you don't know how to use the
keyboard instead of a mouse now would be a good time to
learn. :-)
