My mouse, printer, and camera are not recognized on the computer anymore. Otherwise everything works great. Some how the usb ports are messed up.

It could be the USB controller on the motherboard.
Add a USB card to an open PCI card slot and use it for your USB

It may be that you lost the drivers to that hardware. Try re-installing it. Do the USB ports work for other bits of hardware? Flash drives carry their own drivers; if you have one, plug it in and see if the comp. recognizes it. If so, then you need to find drivers for the mouse, printer, and camera.
If not, take it to your friendly neighborhood computer repairman.

If you cant get them to work you can go to Walmart and buy a new usb card for $30 and it is really easy to install.

go to control panel\system\hardware\device manager
uninstall every usb thing on the tree
reboot....it should redetect everything
