Did you remember to re-install your MBoard drivers ? ?
This is often overlooked.

I am not sure what mboard drivers are. Also wouldn't them have been on the recovery disk that I got from the manufacture?

Sometimes yes...sometimes no.
It would be labelled Driver CD.
Or did the mouse ship with a driver CD ? ?
If not check the manuf. website and see.

I also looked under USB and I ran a program testing the usb ports and it said they were operating fine. It said no software or anything needs to be updated. So I am not sure what else I can do???

Do you have any USB setting in the BIOS?

Have you tried the below site?---->Diagnostics

This indicates a missing MBoard driver...but i'm repeating myself.

Since nothing else has worked and you know more than I do (patio) what are Mboad drivers?

You said they would be on my recover disk but all 4 disks that I received have the same info on them and I do not really know what to look for????
