Why is it that every time I replace a USB keyboard or mouse on an XP machine, I have to unplug and replug it at startup every day for a week or two to get it to work, and then it works fine after that?
I boot up as usual.
XP comes up to the logon screen.
I can't put in my password because the recently replaced USB keyboard does not function. No response to any keys and no lights (Num Lock led should be on at this point).
I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in; the Num Lock led lights up when I plug it in and the keyboard functions properly now.
I have to go through this routine every day for a week or two and then the problem goes away.
I have two machines that do this for keyboard and mouse.
Running XP Pro SP3.
