USB Keyboard does not work at startup

[jamespelen]

Everytime I boot up into Windows XP, the USB keyboard does not
initialize. However, I can use the keyboard to go into BIOS (I did this
to ensure that USB keyboard and mouse are enabled). However, when XP
boots up, I have to unplug and replug the device for it to work (either
that, or I must go to the hardware manager and click on the USB Human
Interface Devices branch to uninstall the device listed, which has a
yellow exclamation point). I went to the website of the maker of the
keyboard to install the latest drivers, but it seems to not have
helped.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Maybe something here under the Keyboard section:
