MS mouse and keyboard - Windows keeps wanting to install drivers by 13th_Panther[_12_]
it sounds to me like windows still is tring to install the mouse and key board . it might not be compatible with your system . also you can go into windows update and on the left side click where it reads restore hidden updates or hide updates . then you can remove them from the list in the updates .
