Chad,
Sounds like you are heading into the black hole of Calcutta. Consider
buying a used PC from DELL via EBay for $ 300-$ 350 or a new Cel-1g tower
for about $ 700 from DELL.
From your description the box you are working on is not exactly new. Does
it really make sense to spend so much time on a box that old. What is your
time worth?

Most motherboard BIOS makes you have to enable the USB keyboard. You could
also look around and see if you have an old serial mouse on one of your
other computer that you could trade off.
As far as updating the PC:
If the old motherboard is an AT or Baby At, you probably will not be
able to find a new motherboard. You would have to look on the used market.
Ebay is a good place for that.

I have had that problem before, however, once the USB Keyboard was found
then I didn't get the mouse error again. I had to take a more drastic
measure and start reloading
motherboard resources.
Try going into device manager and deleting the USB Root hub (and the mouse)
and see if Windows will reload the resources when it reboots. Note: do the
reboot from a shut
down not a restart.
