More and more complaints are rolling in, we can only hope they will get it
fixed and patch again to help us out :/ It sure seems to be usb related, HID
devices,(mice and keyboards) most notably. Obviously there are many out there
without a 2nd pc, who are probably stuck without a mouse/keyboard who can't
even ask for help.

Yep, same exact issues here. Definitely an Automatic Updates issue. Spent
three hours last night trying the exact same fixes. I plugged another mouse
into a different USB port and did a restore to an earlier date but the mouse
didn't work. So I unplugged it and plugged my other wireless mouse and
keyboard back into it's normal USB port and they started working fine. Then
this morning my computer automatically installed the updates again and I had
no mouse again!!

I am also having the same problem, but this doesn't exactly solve the problem.

Is there anything that can fix this issue caused by windows update?

Thanks,

Good Point.
Hadn't thought of that, but will try it.
Thanks!

your restore point should still exist, you could disconnect your internet,
and restore again, buying yourself a chance to poke around without it
updating on ya

It may well be what happened, as I was able to get back to Last Known Config
once and that's when I noticed it loading the device drivers for USB... I saw
it load 3 drivers, Generic USB Hub, USB Composite Device, USB Human
Interface... and it did this two times.

As to the PS2, for the mouse, I had to re-enable it in Bios, but it didn't
fix Win problem nor did using ps2 kybd. Again, not sure why, as I thought
that was different drivers/different hw.

Have tried System Restore off Vista install disk, but it never runs. It
SAYS it's running but nothing ever comes up. Ran Fix System and it says
nothing is wrong.
Sigh...
Thanks for trying.

I too am having some sort of mouse trouble after the patches yesterday, and
as of yet, no fix, but as far as the ps2 , you may want to make sure legacy
support is enabled in the bios if you haven't been using them, maybe it was
disabled or not enabled. My problem seems to be a duplicate instal in device
manager under human interface devices, and mouse pointers. I would be curious
to know if you have same thing, but i don't know how you can find out if you
dont have mouse or keyboard working :/

Good Luck

Yesterday my Vista32 Ultimate was working fine, this morning it was in
Standby mode - not normal behavior, as I have backups & scanning running most
of the night. Powered on and found mouse didn't work. After that keyboard
failed. Worked on it, found it to be Win problem but not sure what. Reading
here I may be victim of USB problem, though I've been running fine since
Christmas. Tried Safe mode, no change. Eventually got it back to Last Good
Config and it worked but before I could do a restore it loaded new device
drivers for my USB, apparently 3 drivers - Generic USB Hub, USB Composite
Device, & USB Human Interface. Once they loaded keyboard and mouse died and
even a restore to Last Known Good hasn't fixed the problem. I also tried a
ps2 connector keyboard & mouse and they didn't work either... not quite sure
why there, as I thought that was different than USB, but hey... I don't know
everything. (smile)

Any thoughts, directions, assistance appreciated on how to get my system
running again.

Thanks!
