Re: XP What? Where?
Yay; installing XP SP3 has completely knackered the PC's ability to support a USB keyboard or mouse. It now fails to boot to Windows (not even safe mode!) with either in place or reboots spontaneously if in XP and either is plugged in. Luckily this is a copy of the production one but FFS, it's really making my day. Thankfully I still have a PS2 keyboard in the cupboard (unused, box-fresh, Microsoft branded and in beige; hello 1998!) and can boot into it but what a PITA. Looks like the production version is getting the Terminal Services service disabled and SP3 ignored. Apologies to my forebears for being so rude about them. Try explaining to manufacturing why you're risking their infrastructure for a security update :-(
