Mouse and keyboard won't work after driver install

Hey guys,

After installing Driver Max (Saw it reccomended in a magazine) I installed a driver that was said to be out of date.

Once installed a message came up with something like "Your mouse and keyboard seem to not be working". It had a repair option later, but I couldn't select it, because my mouse and keyboard arnt working..

How do I fix this? The driver is on my HDD I guess, so setting up a spare HDD just to get Keyboard/mouse working and then deleting the drivers somehow?

Boot into safe mode and uninstall whatever you previously installed.

I can't do that without keyboard / mouse?

I've salvaged a HDD and running them both to try that way.

I've done that now, but then because I'm using a different HDD it's encountering problems.

It's getting to the point where Windows reminds you that your in safe mode. The mouse and keyboard don't work for this part.

Edit: I'm now running the old HDD in the PC it came from (A Dell) and goig to attempt to slave the ew HDD.

I've sorted it now. It was easier to format my HDD using the spare.

Thanks for the help though guys.
