You can use the keyboard arrows, Tab and Enter keys to move around the screen.Always power Off before removing any hardware that is not USB based like the PS/2 mouse for example.It takes a little getting used to move around without a mouse.Check the Control Panel System Properties to find out if you have exclamations marks for some hardware.You can also detect hardware with the Add New Hardware in the Control Panel.Sometimes hardware is only partially installed.Good luck.
