Mouse & Keyboard don't work after Update

Yeah, sounds like we have exactly the same problems. What kind of hardware
do you have? Here's my system:

Intel E6600 on MSI P6N SLI MB
2x Geil 1GB DDR2 PC6400 RAM
EVGA GeForce 7900GS 256MB PCIE

And the troublemakers:
Microsoft Natural 5000 keyboard (USB)
Microsoft Explorer 4.0A mouse (USB)

I'm using the recovery DVD provided to me by Cyberpower PC to reinstall
Vista at the moment. I'll post again when it's done.

I suffered the same problem...
I "fixed" my problem by booting from my Vista Install CD/DVD, choosing
repair and then restoring the system prior to the last update. Mosue and
Keyboard now works.

I don't have this poblem but... Did anyone try using a different mouse
and keyboard to get into device manager and removing the drivers for the
ones that stopped working? Then force it to find them again?

I'll see if that update is there for me to install when I get off work.
If it is, I'll post results.

Yes, I tried a PS2 mouse and keyboard - they all work fin until you get to
windows. How are you going to change or modify the drivers without a mouse or
keyboard???
The answer is; use the install Vista CD/DVD choose repair then restore the
system to the most recent image prior to the last windows update.

JoseG is right. But his explanation is a little brief for novices. 1. Turn
off your computer. 2. Turn on your computer. 3. When the black and white
BIOS screen comes up BEFORE Vista start, touch the F12 key to select the
source of your boot to Vista, 4. Among the options given, select the CD as
the source of Vista, 5. BEFORE you touch the Enter key to exit the BIOS
screen, install the CD in the CD drive of your computer and listen to hear
that it is rotating, 6. When the CD posts some options on the screen, select
RESTORE, 7. Then follow the remaining questions. I am doing this from memory
from about 5 hours ago. The RESTORE function will delete the last update
which is the one causing the problem and restore your computer to the way it
was before you downloaded the update, i.e. the mouse and keyboard should work
normally.

Installed the update and all is still well. Actually it fixed a few
other problems for me. So it seems I won't be of any help in figuring
out why the update causes the problem. Sorry.

If you don't have either an install disk or recovery disk, then either
the shop you bought the computer from has ripped you off with pirate
software, or you need to check the documentation of the computer for the
key sequernce to use during BIOS POST to access the hidden "Recovery
Partition", which is a common scheme employed by manufacturers to
minimize costs.
