Delvy 0 Posted February 25, 2007 We just installed Vista on our new Dell desktop and shortly the Microsoft wireless mouse / keyboard stopped functioning. Found out there were incompatibility issues so I downloaded the update for it. That caused the USB port to stop recognizing the devices. Switched back to a wired version (Dell keyboard, IBM mouse) which only worked until I rebooted. Then the ports they were in stopped functioning (device not recognized) even though those devices had working drivers that WERE fine before the reboot. Now when I turn off the computer and back on - no keyboard or mouse to use anywhere. All ports disabled. HELP! Share this post Link to post
Delvy 0 Posted February 25, 2007 I tried turning off the machine (hard power down, ouch!) and then unplugging it for a few minutes. ONce I restored power the USB ports read my keyboard and mouse again. Still looking for help on how to keep this from happening on each reboot though! Share this post Link to post
