Setting Controls/Bindings Causes Game to Crash

If I try to change any of the bindings, the game crashes.  I can't escape from the controls and I have to close BF in Task Manager.

@SgtMalReynolds How did it screwed up all the peripherals, only thing that clean boots does is stop programs on starting on start up. Starting the program after windows is running will work as before.

I don't know why it happened, but for example, I have a gaming keyboard with custom lights and macro keys, all of which had to be re-customized after clean booting my computer.  I just followed the instructions, which tell you to disable all the programs in the Services list.  It was kind of like uninstalling drivers and software for all peripherals.

Anyway, when I run BF2042 it keeps flashing the controls for an XBox controller to navigate the menu, so my mouse disappears every few seconds, making playing impossible.  I don't even have an XBox controller.
