Re: USB won't recognize sophisticated devices.

Yes they do, and I have installed the latest drivers. As I say, they work
fine, including all bells and whistles, as long as I connect them to the
PS/2 ports, rather than the USB ports,

Even without drivers, they should be recognized as legacy devices
same as the 3 button mouse you say worked. If they work through
the PS/2 ports use them that way. I have USB keyboard and mouse
and have them connected via PS/2. I find the mouse to be a bit more
responsive, and it saves USB ports for other devices.

Back to your problem, it sounds like a motherboard issue. When you
plug the keyboard and mouse into USB ports, do they show any signs
of life, ie., operating LEDs? It almost looks as if your MB USB ports
can't supply sufficient power for the devices.
