USB Mouse Device Malfunction

I know there is already a thread for this, but I tried the solutions in
that thread and none have worked.

It started randomly last night when I was just browsing the net and
chatting on MSN.

I had an optical Microsoft mouse I got over a year ago pretty cheaply,
so I figured it was just fried, I'd been using it just fine on my
desktop with XP.

I went out and bought a new mouse that was 'Vista Certified' a Logitch
Optical Mouse. Plugged it in, the computer made an 'donk' noise at me
and told me the device had malfunctioned and windows does not recognize
it.

I got this lap top just about a week ago, so I'm pretty frustrated.

I tried downloading the driver from the website, I tried the solution
of putting the msmouse.inf folder on my desktop and updating the device
that way, and Vista told me that the device was up to date.

Any solutions?

Do other USB devices work in that port? Examples: card reader, keyboard,
external hard drive, usb thumb drive.

Try other devices in that USB port to see if they work properly. If
problems continue most likely you have a bad USB port and will have
to get your week old lap top serviced. Of all the luck, huh?
