Optical mouse and USB 2 conflict

[Dave W]

I have just installed a microsoft optical blue mouse on
win xp. The USB 2 hard drive is not recognised anymore.
I have tried removing all the devices through the
hardware manager but the hard drive (Buslink USB2 hard
drive gets kicked off after about 30 secs.
Any advice would be appreciated.
This does not seem to be a driver problem.
I think it is an IRQ conflict....any fixes??
Thanks in advance
Dave

Several questions, are you using an external hub because you
don't have front panel USB ports?
How many USB ports do you have and do they connect to the
mobo or a PCI card?
Are all your USB ports USB 2.0 or do you have some 1.1
ports?
How is the BIOS set to configure the USB ports and what
changes does XP do to those settings?
Don't use a hub with the hard drive and if you have both 1.1
and 2.0 ports, put the mouse (and kybd if you have USB) on
1,1 ports.

I too, had some problems with XP and USB2, not this kind tho'... Question
Jim; i have older Asus a7v mobo that has 2 usb 1 ports onboard and have
added a PCI card USB2 with 5... What difference would it make whether
keyboard and mouse are hooked to USB1 or the PCI card since this is a
backward compatible situation?
I do have my HD connected to the PCI card port and still get a message
saying it should be moved to one of the USB2 ports (one and the same) the
mouse and keyboard (both usb, connected to the onboard usb1 as you suggest)
I dont seem to be getting the 'as advertised speed' with the HD.. and yes,
i have SP1 installed..
Thanks for any explanation....
