I found it. To make this work, I had to install Windows XP to dual boot. Once inside
XP, I edited the problem Windows 2000 registry and found that the keyboard and mouse
were disabled. I set the registry keys back to "0" and booted Windows 2000. It seemed
fine. I have no idea why these keys were set to disable to keyboard and mouse. The
only thing I did was reset the Search Preferences in Internet Explorer back to the
defaults. Some hack had sent code to my friends PC to set it to some "SearchXLS"
site. Hmmm. Here are the keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kbdclass\Start
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Mouclass
Actually, CurrentControlSet was not there, I did it for ControlSet001 and ControlSet002
