Mouse and keyboard on Windows 7

[Sbrideau]

Hi, this is not the first time that it happens, but for some reason when I start the computer, the mouse and keyboard aren't working. I have to change the USB ports they're plugged in to make them work again, probably because it reinstalls the driver everytime I do so. It once did it, but I repaired it using a system restore and that was it, problem gone. This time, it's a result of a system restore I did because the computer was locking up after 5 minutes of having it open.

 

I had scanned beforehand and Avira antivir and superantispyware didn't find anything, so I think I'm pretty much virus free too.

 

Do you guys know of any way to stop this from happening appart from changing the usb ports evey time I start the computer?.

 

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Keyboard: Logitech Acess 600

Mouse: MS Comfort 1000

You probably have USB Keyboard and USB Mouse support set to disabled in BIOS.

Which means windows can load drivers for the usb port, but BIOS wont detect or boot them 9probably not exactly true but near enough for simple terms)

Thank you for your help, but it wasn't an issue with a BIOS setting.

 

Also, you guys can forget this, I'll reformat my computer tonight or tomorrow, well, when i get time to do so. I got the feeling I have a pretty bad virus, I don't know where it would come from, but system lockups that made me do a system restore, and now the system is getting slow again and a few other things, so that gives me the feeling that I have something pretty bad going on in my computer.

Oddly enough I had this same problem for the first time today (also on Windows 7). No idea why, but it worked after a restart. Wouldn't be surprised if it happened again, though.
