Nothing doing.
But while I was snooping, I realized that the keyboard is not a USB keyboard, and it does work at login. The mouse is still a USB though. Still, I need a mouse to get past a pop-up upon login.
EDIT:
For now, I'm just running a pendrive linux distro. The problem lies with Windows (I think it's in the registry files). My mom can hardly tell the difference, and after spending hours already on it today, I'll probably just call up an IT friend of mine to come and see what he can do. Thanks for trying though. I'll update this with what the bug was after it's fixed.

What kind of pop-up?
And it is very unusual to lose all keyboard and mouse functions, especially now that you informed us the keyboard is probably PS2 connection.
Before booting into windows, press F8 after the BIOS screen to get a set of options, choose safe mode and try there..
If the mouse and keyboard works in safe mode it could be a virus or something went wrong with accessibility settings which can be changed in safe mode through the control panel.

He said he tried booting into Windows with Safe mode and VGA mode already.

But not with all other USB devices removed.
