That edit has nothing to do with your mouse and keyboard. There isn't a reg
restore from safe mode as in Win98 as scanreg in command prompt, but if you
are speaking of system restore, yes.

HOW TO: Start the System Restore Tool from a Command Prompt in Windows XP

As per the edit you applied:

The UpperFilters or LowerFilters values in the registry, are placed/entered
there by other third-party CD-writing software products either by adding its
own filter drivers or by removing the registry keys and values placed by
default in XP.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

I have yet to see an uninstall for this. Good luck!

Why can't you boot to normal mode?
What was the exact edit you ran? As there are others for upper and lower
filters.
Is your mouse wireless or usb?

i cant tell you excactly what i did, when i did the edit it looked like there
were multiple entiries for the cd key, so iedited them all i currently have a
old ps2 mouse plugged in,wish i could be more helpful
also this is a sata drive that i had installed a video driver that didnt
work,so i have compounded my problem when i went to last good configuration i
kicked the bad driver back in, so i cant see anything, except in safe mode
where the mouse doesnt work, is there a way to just get to a command prompt?

I'm sure you will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think scanreg /restore
is applicable in xp

there are no problems just challenges

scanreg /restore is not a function in XP.It was a win98/ME approach.The
equivalent in XP is the use of System restore.

Do you happen to know the point of any app installing upper/lower
filters?
