I have uninstalled my Nvidia graphics card driver in order to get rid of the Nvidia Firewall. I was going to re-install the driver, this time without installing the Nvidia Firewall. Upon restarting my computer (OS - Windows XP Home Edition) I was unable to move my mouse and log in. I have restarted and turned off my computer a numerous of times and have plugged in a new mouse (usb Microsoft cordless lazier mouse) with no luck. Please inform me on what i must do inorder to get my mouse to work again. It is a cord Microsoft wheel mouse non-usb.
Thank you.

Hi and welcome. The firewall is part of the motherboard drivers, not the graphics drivers.
You have probably managed to uninstall most of the features of your motherboard including USB.
Reinstall your motherboard drivers.

Thank you very much, do you have any knowledge on how I would be able to log into my user account without the mouse, my keyboard works perfectly fine. My last resort would be to reformat or repair windows. Thank you.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del at the login screen should present a login box.
TAB to move between fields/buttons.
Better yet, try booting into SAFE mode (press F8 as PC first boots up). Windows should give you a rudimentary USB mouse driver.
