Well if you deleted a registry value I would say your screwed. Im sure theres a way to fix such a thing. I dont know the value to replace it with. First unplug the mouse. Reboot. Plug it back in. It should work, if not Call the company that built your PC. Explain your problem They should help you.

well if its USB it should reinstall its self. Also if you didnt know you can do everything you can do with a mouse, and even more with just the keyboard.

your typing are you not?, lol. Unplug the mouse and plug it back in. On windows 2000 and above it should reinstall, and it might even install on 98 if im not mistaken.

ok, well like i said all usb mice will install them selves, as soon as you plug them in, well all mine do. I dotn know any other ways to fix this issue unless its a system bio's problem.

oops u deleted a registry value. thats important man!@!!think a million times before doing sucha thing again. what u can do is reconfigure your mouse or maybe the pins in the connecting cord are broken or have bneen damaged. do check it out it happens sometimes and just dont panic. check your keyboard also. if the pins are damaged you are gone for a gud buying spree. :twisted:

wow man. Im sorry to tell you but your screwed. Everythings dead on you now, well not dead but in capable of running when you deleted that value you really screwed things up, the only thing i could recommand doing is editing bio's but yet again you cant because it wont read your keyboard, but it should on a boot up, also did you try a boot up with with the disk in the drivce. If tis doesnt work order a linux distro. If you use direct internet and not Wireless then it will be easy to set up a network. Other then that you'll have to totally try to find a way to pull a format, or buy a new hdd. But keep the second one and make it a slave, so you can format it and use it as a second hdd for windows or w.e, i do that, well did and labled it drive D, and saved all zip's on there so they wouldnt be lost on a reformat.

if you need to as a last resort buy a windows xp cd and reformatt your pc, you will lose all your saved documents tho since you can use your mouse 9 unless you know how to navagate with your keybaord). so think about it

If you're running XP, then you should be able to "restore" to a point BEFORE you messed up the registry. Try doing that.

question, does anything USb work?

if it doesnt have u tried reinstalling USB drivers, maybe you can find some drivers that will work, since you can damage it more then it already is, try dells usb drivers or some universal drivers from mocrosoft

then just reformat your harddisk and reinstall your operating system. u said you have win xp???. if yes then i am sure that u will install it using the ntfs file system. and if u log on to the internet dont log in as being the adminstrator. ok best of luck and next just dont foul that registry thing leave that alone.
