External mouse for laptop requires remove/replace after power-up.
(Re-posted because of no help on original post of 10/1/09)
Running a Dell I1100 laptop under WinXP Home SP3. I have an external mouse connected to a USB 2.0 adapter card. It used to be immediately effective after a power-up (from hibernate or full power off) and initialization. Lately, it has become necessary to unplug and replug the cable before the PC would recognize the mouse. Any idea about what's going on?

What I would do is unplug the mouse, power off the laptop (not just reboot); then power up the laptop and wait until it is quiescent, then plug in the mouse. This should force it to be reinstalled. Another approach would be to restore your system to a time when the mouse worked.
