I have an ailian computer with XP Home on it. After installing sp2 my usb
ports stoped working. In device manager the usb root hubs and ports say that
they are working but the mouse and game controler do not function. I do not
get power to my mouse either. If anyone can help me I would appreiceate it.
Thanks

It seems that this "may" be a common problem. What has been recommended
(but I never tested -- never needed to) was to remove every entry under the
USB section (Root hub, ports and controllers) in Device Manager. Then,
reboot and XP is supposed to re-detect everything.
