maybe have a look in control panel, then printers and other hardware

then to the mouse

and have a play with all the sub menu's at the top

www.ccleaner.com has a registry cleaner if dubs suggestions are valid

I also wonder if one of the usb ports has failed, you'd notice that in control panel, system, then driver signing, and look for some yellow question marks
