usb problem

[Randy Jonasz]

Thanks for the help, everyone. I turned usb off and on in the bios and
checked but to no avail.  I checked my message logs and no entry is made
while plugging the mouse in and taking it out.  Alas I think I have a
hardware failure.  I'll definitely invest in a better surge protector this
time.

Thanks again,

Randy
