Need help. I have a machine that can not access the internet. Seems easy BUT lots of trouble.

Useing MS Windows XP Prof with SP3.

Tried to do a system restore. "Can not find the specified file. Reboot."

Checked Help and support in Admin (Control Panel) service is not started. Try Start no go. Can't find the specific file. Also Network has not stated. Try to start. No go. Have tried System restore from caommand prompt (Safe Mode) No go. Have also tried to re-install help through explore (PChealth). Reboot. Still no go.

I thought I would back up system and re-install. MS Backup does not work either. I seem to have 4 phantom drives on the machine.

I took the machine to my place and used my USB keyboard and mouse and the machine booted up found new hardware but both mouse and keyboard did not work. Plugged in original mouse and keyboard. Worked.

If any one has any idea on the above I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers
