I could not get F8 to work.  The normal F2, F10, F11 all worked fine.  However, trying two different restore disc's I was finally able to get in via RDC.  After I uninstalled all of the March 15th MS updates the USB ports worked fine.  I haven't bothered to figure which update is was the killed the usb, when I get the time next I'll do that.  Thanks for the response though, I greatly appreciate the info. Dave
After this last patch Tuesday my USB ports have stopped working when I get to the login screen.  The ports themselves work fine in bios mode.  Any ideas on how I can access the o/s to rollback the driver?  Keep mind my mouse and keyboard are usb and I have no ps/2 ports on the T410.  Nor, can I get in via RDC.  Thanks, Dave
USB ports stop working Server 2008R2 after patch Tuesday.
