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
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB" 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.
