Knocked out my NT keyboard drive, no I can't type!

I'm at work, and my desktop machine runs NT. I was trying to install a PC Concepts mouse driver, and it asked something to the effect of "This driver might alter your keyboard driver", and asked me if I wanted to continue. At first I said "cancel" and the program quit and no software was installed. I went though the install again and said to continue. The program hung, I quit out of it, and rebooted the computer to see if my mouse driver was installed. Well it reboots and I notice that I can't type anything. It also has the message, "At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for details". So my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. Anyone know how I can get back into the system?

I usually don't call them until I have run out of options. They are pretty much useless.
