I have a Windows XP Pro edition, with SP2 et. al. I have a Mitsumi
Electronics mouse. I have an AMD K6 processor.

Problem: I had to shutdown the computer improperly because of a rare hang
up. Upon rebooting the mouse did not work. Additionally, the mouse did not
appear in the System Devices, and when I try to "Add Hardware" there is NO
option for any kind of mouse! Deleting my COM1 port has done no good nor has
rebooting the computer. The mouse is never found at reboot or through Add
Hardware. Any ideas? Something corrupted in the shutdown?
