My girlfriend wanted to upgrade her Nvidia 8800GTS video driver. After downloading the update, she went into Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the original driver. The options in Add/Remove Programs included "Nvidia Drivers" and "Nvidia Forceware." She selected "Nvidia Drivers."
She had accidentally clicked to remove ALL Nvidia drivers, not just the display driver. I told her to cancel what she had selected, and watched her follow the prompts to cancel the uninstall, but the complete ForceWare uninstaller ran anyway!
Now her PC has become useless! The mouse and keyboard do not work once WindowsXP loads. We've swapped out the USB keyboard and mouse for old DB-9 keyboards and mice, but it still does not allow us to log into Windows.
Is there any way to get her PC to work again? I really don't want to reinstall Windows and have her lose everything. We tried running in "Last Known Good Configuration" and "Safe Mode" and neither one worked.
