USB webcam problem

[Mary]

My USB webcam does not normally work when I switch on my PC (XP SP2
with all updates on AMD XP3200 with 1GB RAM).

If I pull the cam out and put it back in it normally works fine.
Sometimes this doesn't work and I have to put it in a different USB
port and then it wants to reload all the drivers again.

Is this an XP problem?

How can I get it just to work OK when I boot up without all this
hassle?

Any help appreciated
