Go into device manager and remove all USB (do mouse last), reboot. You'll have to power off via the front power switch since the keyboard and mouse will be dead. It should re-detect everything and hopefully solve the problem.

PEBKAC error. ;) Or, more likely this time, sometimes Windows just plain gets "confused" about what's hooked up and starts having internal conflicts.
