Once I get to the questions, the mouse and keyboard do not work. What do I do??? We have tried taking out the power but that is not helping.

    Are your mouse/keyboard on the verified list? http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals Do they work with Rasbian instead of OpenELEC? – Fred Mar 30 '14 at 19:22

    might help to tell us what's the model/maker of your keyboard/mouse. – lenik Mar 30 '14 at 23:35

Step one: check your power. Too many Pi users accept that the power they are using works fine, when really its right on the edge of what the Pi can handle. Test your power

Step two: plug keyboard in before powering on the Pi, does it work?

Step three: plug in mouse before powering on the Pi, does it work?

If any do not work and your sure you completed step one: then try a USB hub.

I mention all those steps from bitter experience, with bad power supplies, good power supplies but bad cables, heavy power usage keyboards(never had a problem with mice).
