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???

Title: Re: Plug and Play

I would buy a brand new PS2 keyboard and mouse...

That would work but it works with the ps2 fine but just not with usb ports.

Do you have any USB setting in the BIOS?

Have you tried the below site?---->Diagnostics (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-42954.html#bios)

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????

Motherboard drivers.
Download and run Everest Home and save the report as a text file...
This will tell you exactly what hardware you have and we can help tracking down the appropiate drivers.

No need to get huffy
And i didn't say they would neccessarily be on your recovery disks...
See above.

I was not trying to be huffy I was just stating that you knew more than me and I was going to follow your advice.
