A couple of DAYS ago, my wireless mouse stopped working.  I was just browsing the web as I normally would.  I replaced the battery, but it still didn't work.  I just assumed it randomly died.  I took it as "Oh well, I GUESS I will buy another."  So today, I connected my wife's Kindle to load some books for her, and it did not enter USB mode.  At first I thought it was the Kindle, but then I remembered about the mouse incident.  I then connected my Samsung Tablet for another test, and it also did not enter USB mode. 

I have tried doing a system restore, and it did not work.  I have tried rebooting and shutting down my computer, and that did not work.  I have tried scanning for viruses and spyware, and there was nothing detected.  I have tried the scannow command, with no errors detected.  I have tried uninstalling all of the USB CONTROLLER devices, and that did not work.  I have no clue what is going on and I am extremely frustrated.  And Now, every 5 seconds or so, the "USB device Not Recognized" message keeps popping up with the annoying windows sound to go along with it.. and I don't even currently have any USB devices attached.......

Anyone have some ideas for me?  I would greatly appreciate any HELP!!! 

Also, FYI, I am using Windows 7 on a newer Sony Vaio laptop.  Please go to the web site below and read the "Linda Yan" RESPONSE. Let us know the results.
