Hi,

Have had this problem for a while now and first put it in the harware section...i now believe it is more a software related issue so am going to try my luck in here.

My USB mouse and keyboard have both just stopped working...they both work in a different computer, and i still have USB devices plugged into my computer that are working fine.

In device manager it shows them with a Yellow ! at the side of them, but will not install any drivers for them, wether that be the generic one, or a driver from the manufacturers site / CD

Have tried deleting them from the device manager and letting windows re-install them but this hasnt worked...both seem to come on during windows startup but then dont work when windows gets logged in...there is power to my keyboard as it is lit up.

Have tried deleting my catroot2 folder and letting that be re-created but that hasnt worked either

Any ideas? Just bought a nice new big monitor and now cant play anything on it as the PS2 keyboard and mouse i am using are crap :(
