Ok. So today I turned on my computer and everything starts up and I went to get a drink. When I got back Vista is started but I have no ethernet, USB (including mouse and keyboard), sound, and every other port on my motherboard is disabled. I restarted and it still did not work. However, all of these things work in the BIOS and in Ubuntu. I have no idea how this happened unless Vista's USB drivers became corrupted for some unknown reason... If anyone can help me fix this WITHOUT having to do a system restore from the cd I will be very very very happy! :D But if there is no option besides system restore than that is ok. But I would rather not restore.


Specs:
Manufacture: Hewlett-Packard
Model: HP xw8400
Processor: Intel Xeon 5150 @ 2.66 Ghz (2 physical processors)
Memory: 4094mb FBIMM DDR2
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+
OS: Windows Vista Business 64 bit

I will greatly appreciate it if any of you can help! :)

Did your computer go into hibernation mode by any chance? If so turn the computer off at the plug and leave it for a while then turn it back on!
