Sysprep / USB Keyboard & Mouse

Question

After imaging a Dell Optiplex 745 I am forced to accept the EULA agreements. The problem is that the keyboard and mouse are not active and their doesn't appear to be a way to either click on 'AGREE' or use the keyboard to 'AGREE'. I've tried every USB port in the back of the machine. The BIOS says the USB controller is ON and each group of ports is ON as well. There are no PS/2 connections on the machine. I'm wondering if at some point during the sysprep process there is a way to tell the machine to make these USB ports active? O/S: WinXP Pro Dell Optiplex 745 Dell Keyboard and mouse.

does anyone image their Dell PCs? Or...do you image PCs that do not have PS2 connections?

Having the same issue here, albeit with a scripted mini setup. After a sysprep reseal and reboot (to test) the keyboard and mouse uninstall themselves. What's strange is that a bare metal install of winxp works jsut fine and dandy, and the system works fine. Everything is working right up until I reseal, and the next boot gives me a dead mouse and keyboard. I have a feeling it's related to this: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=oplex_other&message.id=15247&query.id=117448#M15247 OP: I'm going to attempt the process again with the Intel chipset drivers, or no driver install at all (considering the computer works fine without em...). Hopefully that won't break the system when it comes back up from the reseal.
