Re: Driver for mouse and keyboard combo
You'll know if it's a driver issue if windows recognizes it, but can't get it to work. Check your device manager for unrecognized devices, or for devices that are mis labeled. Zebra thermal printers are notorious for this.

Re: I think I might have to upgrade or move out...
GoGrid, VPS.net and Rackspace are all great servers. If you're cheap, I like Rackspace the most. They charge you hourly based on the speed of server you run - if you run it for less than an hour, it's free. What is nice is you can take a snapshot of the server, then shut it off.
