Try them in different ports - Windows should recognize them if they're
plugged into the same ports that they were plugged into before. I've
used this trick to get a USB wireless NIC to use its previously stored
network credentials instead of having to re-enter them.
I don't know if setting USB legacy options in the BIOS will make any
difference, as Windows takes over control of the USB controllers when it
starts up. It might be worth taking a look for it just in case Windows
is trying to load drivers for the USB controllers.

Thane,
I do so want to read the answer to this one!
It addresses why I did not choose the m/b's suggested months ago that
required USB. I still use the old PS/2 interface...(P5Q3)....
I know; slow, behind the times!
Thank you so much for this query.
Best,
Duncan

I've got a computer that boots up to XP and immediately comes up with
the found new hardware wizard. The problem is that it has a USB
keyboard and mouse, and these don't work, and the drivers for these
won't install because they are blocked by the found new hardware
wizard that is for some other device (as far as I can tell.) There
are no PS2 ports, so I can't use that - any ideas?
