XP SP1a update. My mouse has completely died, so
have other USB plugs, with keyboard only I have no
way of rolling back to the previous state as the key-
board seems not to apply in "Add/Remove Programs".
I am stuck this way unless I format the XP installation
disc I suppose,
anything I can do? I am becoming quite "ept" with
keyboard now, that's cool!
