Greetings. I am new to this site and am agrateful for any help you can provide.

The short story is that none of my usb ports seem to work. It began when I booted my machine and got no response from my usb keyboard and mouse. My first solution was to go and buy two usb to p/s2 adaptors. The keyboard works, but the mouse does not. All usb settings in the bios look good. The device manager shows one mouse, a logitech which makes no sense as the mouse is an hp. Scanning for new devices yields nothing. The mouse lights up so I know its getting power. I'm stumped. Any ideas?
