USB-keyboard & mouse powered off in windows-7
- by sinned
I have a problem with a pc where usb devices are not getting any power as soon as windows starts up (it works in preboot). This pc has no ps/2, so there is no chance for input, also not in secure boot mode. I "tidied up" using sysinternals autostart, so there is a chance I messed something up here, although I'm quite sure I only deleted some old printer drivers from autostart.
I do not know how to reset this, I cant even log in because there is no input possible. I could use a linux live cd, but I don't know what to do there because there is no sysinternals from linux into a not running windows...
To make things even worse, I have the windows installation completely encrypted with truecrypt, so I haven't even tried windows recovery cd yet.
There is no loss of data since I can access the disc with a live-linux, I only want to use it again without resetting up everything.
Any suggestions?
