HELP! Mouse and Keyboard not working

[Phil Obermarck]

Thanks for the suggestion, but there is no USB installed on
this computer. The new mouse used a PS2 adpater.

I have returned my hardware to the original configuration,
but Windows is not detecting any change. Both the mouse and
keyboard are PS2 versions, and there are no other input
devices attached.
