You got one answer from Barry. That answer cannot be seen on the
MS web site, but you can see Barry's answer via the Google archive.

When you look at the MS web site, Barry's answer is missing.

I have had the very same problem since Oct 25th!!! Can't seem to get
satisfactory answer. I came back to my Win XP/SP3 after putting it to sleep
and the hard drive was off. When I booted up I got the message that the
keyboard and mouse was not recognized (USB mouse/keyboard) I tried rebooting
several times...even tried using mouse and keyboard on my old W98 machine
that I am using now and they both work. If there was a way to get to system
restore I would go back but it's a little difficult when the keyboard and
mouse don't work....kinda like clapping with one hand.
Thanks for any help you can give!
