8800 GT Driver Issue

[MACH_OnE]

Hey All,

Long time, no talk. Got a quick question for anyone who may be able to help.

I've got a Gateway FX7020 which features the following:

ECS MCP61PM-GM (nForce 6100 series) mobo
GeForce 8800GT 512MB

I believe that is all the info necessary to help evaluate my problem, which is as follows...

My system came with Vista installed. As I am not a huge fan of that OS, I downgraded to XP (SP1). Once XP was installed, I installed the nForce 6100 series drivers without issue. Once I installed my graphics drivers (175.19) and restarted, my USB keyboard and USB mouse did not work. Not only did the peripherals not work, but the display went to 640x480 (4bit).

I uninstalled the graphics drivers and restarted to a computer that is operational, but I've got no graphics drivers.

Are there any known issues with the 175.19 drivers (I wasn't able to find any)?

Are there any specific drivers that I should be using with my rig?

Any help is appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.

Update:

I have installed the 169.02 drivers. The display is as it should be; however, the peripherals are still not working. As of now, I am using a PS/2 keyboard to navigate my computer.

Any thoughts?

What keyboard and Mouse are you using ???

Logitech Classic Keyboard 200

Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0

I get no lights on the keyboard or the mouse when I plug them in but I do get lights on my headphones in the same USB slots.

All is fixed.

I installed my audio drivers and my mouse started working.

Makes perfect sense if you ask me.
