USB Mouse not working on my Sony VAIO VGN-FS980 Laptop

USB mouse is not working on my laptop (Sony Vaio VGN FS-980). I thought there was some problem with old one. So i bought new one. Still didn't work. However my USB hard drive works fine. I am having this issue once i reimaged my laptop.

Any ideas

Have you tried plugging it when Windows is already up and running? I suspect it would be the drivers but I am not really sure. Try plugging when Windows is up and running already and see if Windows will recognize it. Also when the mouse is plugged in, (assuming it is an optical mouse) does the led at the bottom light up?

I tried plugging when windows is up and running and also in an optical mouse the led at bottom light up. Weird thing is i bought new one and i didn't work as well. Can't figure out what is going on?

Let me get this clearly... when you plug in an optical USB mouse while Windows is running, you get no reaction from windows? No error messages, no beeps, no Found new Hardware messages?

By the way did the new mouse come with a driver CD?

Additional info:
Please do the following -> Right click on "My Computer", click on Properties, click on the Hardware tab, click on the Device Manager Button, expand your Mice and other pointing devices... post in here what you see?
