Weird USB Problem

Post by salm »

Sometimes when i start my computer the mouse won´t work. If i then unplug the scanner or the WLAN USB Stick the mouse will start working. If i plug the scanner or WLAN stick back into the computer the mouse will continue to work but only sometimes. Sometimes it will stop working.
USB sticks don´t work at all besides one very old one.

I reinstalled Windows XP but that didn´t do anything. I updated the Mainboard drivers but the problem remains.

What could this be?

Did you update the BIOS on the motherboard?

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

And also insure that you have the proper USB drivers installed (should be with the mobo drivers).
