Ask your IT dept to re enable it, it's their job.
After all MAYBE they disablesd it to stop people (like you) potentially bringing in virii on USB keys !

If it's not listed in Device Manager, either you're screwed, or they are disabled at the BIOS level. Are you sure the final listing isn't "Universal Serial Bus controllers"? That would be what USB represents.
Once you have the hardware setup, make sure the "Plug and Play" service is running.

Go into BIOS (by pressing either Delete or F8 as you start up the computer, the button depends on the computer). Use the right arrow to go over until you see the option to see your USB controller ports. Go down with the arrows to highlight it, hit enter, and select the current one. Hit escape rougly two times to exit the menu, and then continue to let your computer start up.

It requires a disc to set the USB ports back to there original state. If there is not one available then the IT department should easily be able to trouble shoot and enable the ports.

If your firm is on a networking enviornment, you need to contact your IT administrator. She or he has to setup the USB through the main computer which spreads out to other computers.

Dual boot linux from a CD, aka Ubuntu :p
OR you could actually fix the problem by going in to your BIOS :D
