Uninstall the USB controllers from device manager, reboot the PC.

See if that helps

To make sure that it isn't a driver issue, try booting with a live-cd (Ubuntu or similar) and check if it works. If not, your USB-controller is probably be bust.

i just realised that the usb mouse and kb work, but nothing else wants to work.

i tried uninstalling all the usb things but still the exact same problem. ( i plugged in a PS/2 mouse)
