I have a computer on my bench that suddenly wouldn't work the mouse. It was not a hardware problem and it didn't matter if I plugged in a PS/2 or USB mouse the dang thing would not move.

So off to perform a repair install. But that did not go well because it fails to fully boot up. Get the wallpaper but nothing else. I can boot in safe mode but it promptly tells me that the system is not activated and thus I cannot logon. But you can only activate in full mode not safe mode. I'm pretty sure that I could get this pile of warm brown stuff to work if I could log on. Bill Gates can go shove it. I'll probably have to nuke and pave this one and I hate that.
