Our wireless keyboard has gone bad so I've temporarily replaced it with a PS2 keyboard, now Windows isn't recognizing my USB mouse (either of them I've tried two) and the only message I receive is "One of the USB devices attached to this has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."

It was recognizing it before the PS2 keyboard was installed. What causes the conflict between the two? And, is there a solution?
