mouse keyboard woes

I installed Vista it seemed with no problems. I used a Microsoft bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The first time in Vista things seemed to work well. I left things and Vista went to sleep. I could not get it to wake up so I restarted (off and on) the computer. It would not recognize the keyboard during the process where it waits for the user to select current or previous version of windows and the mode of windows. After the countdown there complete Vista starts to open and stops waiting for user to select the account to open.
At this point the mouse pointer is frozen in the middle of the screen and will not work. I replaced the bluetooth mouse and keyboard with a USB mouse and keyboard. Both would not work.
Finally, i tried a ps/2 mouse and keyboard. They worked the first time. Yeah. But after that Vista went to sleep and would not wake up. I restarted but now the mouse and keyboard do not work at where you need to select the user account.
Help.

Have you found a way out yet? I have similar problems. Since I can't use the mouse I can't cllick to accept anything - like the license blurbs.
Have you found a work-around?

Finally, and it was't pretty. I disconnected the mouse. Sometimes when I rebooted I was able to get the keyboard to work. I got to my computer and was able to run Vista setup. I went through the entire installation a second time and have been able to use the ps/2 mouse and keyboard. I believe that the blue tooth mouse and keyboard I tried initially caused the problem.
