usb mouse not detected at startup

[T Dosedel]

My XP pro system is not recognizing my USB mouse at
startup... if I unplug and re-plug-in in the mouse it
recognizes it and all is well? Any ideas?

do you have an emulation-option in BIOS? i mean, in my bioas there is an
option that make older systems (win95/dos) believe that the usb-mouse is
an ps2-mouse. but, when this emulation is enabled windows xp does'ntz
recognize the usb-mouse.

another idea is a driver-update...

that's all. i don't habve more ideas.. hope, that the mouse will work
right soon...

I have had similar experiences, not with XP but with Windows 2000. It
may be caused by several thnigs. First, do you plug the cable right into
the back of the computer or via a (monitor) hub? And, what other USB
equipment dou you have? Check USB bandwidth use: Control Panel / System
/ Device Manager. Go to "USB controllers" and select "USB Root Hub" (if
there is more than 1, repeat for each). Not right-click, select
Properties and view the "power" tab.
