Very usefull!

In Windows Repair process fase 2, when installing driver I was prompted with warn dialog window, but keyboard and mice stop responding.

To avoid this problem, still working keyboard press SHIFT+F10 to open command window. Then type sysdm.cpl to open System Properties dialog window.

Use steps from 2 to 6 in this tutorial and repeat verify if option is still. For me the option selected Ignore was resets once.

Excuse my english.

Pasha,

I have seen the locked keyboard and mouse during setup after device enumeration and driver selection. This typically occurs when the keyboard and mouse are USB devices. I have gotten past this by connecting a ps2 mouse to allow me to click ignore on that window. A ps2 keyboard would also let you get past this issue.

Thank you this was very helpful, a much easier way to over ride the GPO for unsigned drivers.

I am getting exactly similar warning messages, but I am in the middle of the installation and my keyboard & mouse locks.

Even after restarting computer also, system will ask for Windows XP CD and start installing and will stop at some point with this message and locks my keyboard and mouse. Could someone please help.

Awesome!
I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. Nice, clean and simple solution without any registry hacks. Thanks!
