Windows XP fails to recognzie the USB mouse device

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I would try uninstalling/reinstalling your motherboard/chipset drivers.
To do this, go to Dell's website and download the proper drivers for
your computer model. Also, does this mouse still work in other
computers? Do other USB devices work in the port?
