Laptop No Keyboard or Mouse response at logon

I just purchased a new Laptop (Acer Aspire 5515) and this problem has
happened twice now, once when installing a laptop connect card and the
second was during an automatic updates session. Both times the computer
went into the screensaver mode and then after it was rebooted everything
looks and runs normal but no keyboard or mouse functions are there. I
have booted in safe mode but it still does the same thing. I reloaded
from the backup discs I made but I wanted to try something different if
another option was available so I wouldnt have to basically start over
again loading items and do the whole update thing over.

Also I am new to Vista and this is stupid question to ask but what is
the blue icon on the bottom left of the screen? After reading posts I
found out what the red one was but here is the thing....I have never
seen those (that I can remember anyway) except the two times that it has
done this?

Thanks for any help!
