Problem with a keyboard and a mouse

The problem is that it once im loading windows xp my Microsoft fingerprint reader and mouse will not be recognized. To fix this problem i Have to unplug them then plug them back in
 
🙁 That shouldn't be happening.

Usually, Id say contact the manufacturer, but I have e-mailed microsoft numerous times, and have NEVER recieved a response. They honestly have the worst support of any big company i have ever tried to contact.

Are these USB? If so, you want to update your Windows to Service Pack 2. I've seen this cure many such USB problem.

Dude, if you want to give advice, please first take care and produce readable words and sentences. Thank you very much.
 
for the keyboard and mouse to work, I have to unplug them then plug them back in. It gets kinda tireing doing this every time I boot up. I think they go into sleep mode when XP is loading.
 
The problem is that some bus powered devices don't come back up quickly enough after the system has (re-)started the USB root hub. If newest drivers (SP2) didn't help, plugging them into a different port might help (because you might happen to then be on one that gets scanned later). Alternatively, plug them into a self-powered hub.
 
Are you using the latest manufacturer-specific drivers for your mouse?

Keyboard shouldn't need any, though...or do USB keyboards use software drivers like mice do?
