Yeah I meant a port.  Larry have you tried do that yet with
a 
PS/2 mouse and keyboard?  That's why I don't like USB
devices. 
I always convert any USB mouse or keyboard to PS/2.

Clint again thanks for the reply and I assume that you mean
a 
single
port went bad. I have changed to other ports but that did
not 
help.

I wanted to delete all USB items in the device manager and
then 
let
windows reload at startup but can't get my hard wired
keyboard 
and mouse
to work. The mouse works for awhile up to the end of
everything 
loading
then it freezes.

Meanwhile I have tried the device on a third computer with
the 
same os
and everything works fine so it is this computer.
