Sounds like the mouse port died.

I did delete the hardware def, but did not reboot.  I'll try it that way.

I did the cold boot thing.

Did the battery thing and I pressed every button on the mouse and the base.
LOL.

The system will not even recognize an old corded mouse. 

Device manager showed no mouse when it was not connected.  As soon as I
plugged it into a USB port, device manager recognized it and added it to the
list.

Thanks,
Bobby

Maybe delete the hardware definition and then reboot?

Try removing and reinserting the batteries?

Do a full power off and cold boot?

Just some thoughts..... Some of my wireless mice have a reset button on them
someplace too. On the bottom or inside where the battery is?

Good luck getting it going again.
