Double Whammy.

So a few weeks ago i've received a laptop and as of getting it set up everything and stuff. The problem is the other computer i was using is acting up. When started it will not respond to anything, (mouse, keyboard, nothing at all) responds. So i was wondering if it might be something to do with USB connections like the keyboard and mouse, or its due to adding the wifi box wrong/incorrectly or something. Now another thing thats interesting is the mouse for the old computer works here on this laptop. However it'll punch out and not work at all. Where i'm forced to re-plug it in and hope it registers.

So any suggestions?

Does the OS start up?

It'll load almost right but when it gets to my family's accounts screen it wont respond at all. mouse and the keyboard won't respond.

sounds like hardware problem...did you have any electrical accidents in the house lately? i once burned out my keyboard and mouse in a storm, but the PC was alright.

hmm nothing i know of... about the only thing similar is us plugging in the wifi router. So i dunno if that qualifies or not.

would be weird....i dunno, do you clean it? seeing how its old...

hmm i'll try cleaning it, but if it won't work do you suggest i try using newer hardware? or will it do the same thing?

there are many reasons for things to break down. a lot of things can fuck up.

if i good understan, ur laptop didnt work correctly when u start desktop computer?

Are You have on remote desktop in ur laptop? Maybe u sets in system, is desktop controling all machines in local workgroup via router wifi?

laptop works fine, its the desktop comp thats messed up. the problem is the mouse, keyboard, and speakers that are connected to the desktop don't work. I tried the mouse on here and it doesn't respond right at times. So im wondering if it is a hardware problem in which i have to go get a keyboard a mouse and speakers....

Bump!

found out that it's not a hardware issue. When started up it'll say
USB overload. Which i took it as the main usb port to the modems is over-loaded. which seems to be the case. I know the situation now its how do i fix it? Have in mind i have 2 modems, one is wifi and the other is a regular modem that is connected to the wifi modem. (Of Course.) So any helpful suggestions on me being able to use my other comp?? or is it totally a lost cause?
