Keyboard lost after update Avast! (Win-XP sp3)
« on: May 14, 2013, 05:03:30 PM »
 >:(
I received an update of the free Avast antivir, this morning.( v8.0.1489)
I rebooted the PC, and wanted to collect my mail.
I selected the browser icon with mouse and gave in the webside...
Great was my surprise when I found out that KB was not responding and neither the mouse????
I pressed restart and could again work with mouse, asap I hit a key, KB and mouse were hanging???

I looked in System/Hardware/apparaatbeheer and I saw a yellow exclamation mark before KB
It is impossible to install a new driver, I also tried other keyboards as USB and PS2 KB: NO RESULT
Booting in safe mode is not working.

I would be very happy if sitiation could be solved!
