OS = Windows 7 Home. I have MS Office 2010 on my Aspire. But, I need to install Office 2007 / Access 2007 to test compatibility. But, once I installed Office 2007 both the USB mouse and touchpad stopped working. I tried a system recover, but the recovery failed for some reason.
I have uninstalled all of the MS Office products, but I still have the same problem.
I installed the latest Acer touchpad and mouse dirvers, but no joy. It is interesting to note that I can remotely access the Aspire and the remote mouse and touchpad work just fine.
I have also tried a Windows 7 repair, but it doesn't do the normal repair process. It asks if I want a repair, and it then opens a crude DOS app that will only do a restore or a startup fix.
I checked the Windows logs and alert and didn't see anything related to this issue.
Thanks. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
