try sticking in a USB mouse/keyboard. If they work you could try and remove the mouse and keyboard in the device manager and restart and see.

safe mode / system restore not work

recovery console to copy an old copy of reg files

If on a network you might try doing a push install of VNC and using a remote keyboard to look up device manager,

remote registry editing might work - if you knew what to look for ( i8042 ?)
a repair / reinstall looks to be on the cards

put drive in as slave and do virus scan/malware scan

if you knew what to remove you could use a batch file in startup to remove it on next boot, reg.exe with the appropiate .reg file or a delete command - but that's only an option if you know what the problem is
