I am trying to help a family repair their computer.
I was able to back up and format the computer with little problems. My problem occurred when I booted up into Windows XP for the first time. Windows did not install my the mouse or Keyboard! They are both USB. I know some keyboards and mice require Drivers before they operate, so I thought to use a PS/2 mouse or keyboard.
When I looked behind the Computer to plug them in, I realized the computer had no PS/2 ports! What am I to do now!? The Drivers I need are on Dell's website, but I cannot install them without an interface!
I went into the CMOS to check if the USB devices were enabled, and they were. My question is, how am I supposed to get any kind of interface going?
I'll list some additional information that might help.
Installing Windows XP Professional on a Dell Dimension C521. Only USB ports.
That's all i can give right now! please help!
