Computer Mouse

Not sure why I have to do this, but each time I boot up my system I have to pull my USB mouse out of the USB port and insert it back in for my PC to detect it.  I shouldn't have to do this as it should load when booting up.  Not the case.  I'm using Windows XP.  I'm wondering if this is just a simple fix in the BIOS or is it something else?  I have Plug-n-Play running (I believe).  Any suggestions are GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Does the problem started suddenly or it persisted since system installation/ mouse purchase? First check on the other computer if the problem can be replicated if yes the mouse may be a problem, if not try using different drivers, you can upgrade your motherboard drivers as well and see if that help. You can try setting up a deferment account and see if the problem persists there too.

Or try your mouse at your friends PC.
If is doing the same, then buy another mouse – it is not so expensive.
if it's a wireless mouse, try clicking the connect button on the mouse.

If it's a wired mouse, try another usb port.
