Tried what HP told me (restore drivers from disk). That didn't work since once you start you need a mouse and can't navigate using the keyboard. Tried upgrading to a non OEM install which failed killing my system so I restored to origninal. Good thing I partition everything out. <br />
Thanks for the help though.

I had an issue with Logitech Setpoint not installing properly for the G9 mouse. I uninstalled Setpoint and all associated files (App Data files). I rebooted and now the synaptics touchpad won't even work.<br />
<br />
I tried installing the original drivers and got the message that current drivers were newer. I uninstalled the synaptics drivers (add/remove programs) and installed the original drivers. Still no luck. I check device manager and no mice show up. I tried the add hardware wizard and scan for new hardware and still no luck. System Restore was disabled so I can't go back to a previous state.<br />
<br />
Any ideas on how to fix this without having to go to recovery.

HP dv9000 - Touchpad will not work

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
