Not sure why you thought that re-installing USB would have any effect.. you
might try re-installing mouse software, and if that doesn't work, go to your
local pc store and ask them to try out your mouse.. it is not unknown for
computer mice to die..

If it was working fine this morning, have you tried using System Restore to
take you back to a time prior to when this issue began? Start\All
Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

Check the batteries - if batteries are OK, the laser beam should be strong.
Post again after that.

PS2 optical mouse gets its power down the cable, not from batteries..
