Keyboard and mouse stop responding during boot-up

Hi,
I idiotically made a change in the registry. Now, my pc appears to boot up normally,
but the keyboard and mouse become non-responsive when Windows starts. You can imagine
how much can get done without input devices. I can edit in the bios, and that's it.
Windows stopped recognizing my CD-RW and DVD drives (after reinstalling Roxio, unrelated),
so they're not usable. If I can just get into regedit from a command prompt, I can
undo the change. Is that possible? If so, how? I've tried booting in safe mode,
but no difference. The floppy drive works, and I have another pc that's got XP on
its hard drive, but it has no display, and a couple of other hardware problems.
Can someone help me?
If you think education's expensive, try ignorance.
