usb mouse not detected at startup

[Jeff Baygents]

Yes; this was a common issue I've discovered. The
solution (at least for me, in several instances) was to
enable "Legacy USB" (or similar wording) within the BIOS
setup during your bootup. Hope it works for you too.

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.
