In a very stupid display of stupidity, I have deleted my USB drivers in safe mode, and they are gone. How can I get them back? It's hard posting using just keyboard..

im sure if you just un-plug and plug in the mouse again, it will prompt you for the drivers, and oyu can use the win xp cd.

if you go into computer management (device manager) and tell it to search for hardware changes, it will find the uninstalled devices and reinstall them. ;)
