[UK-CONTEST] Wireless key and mouse problem on my contesting PC - help!

[Alex GM3ZBE]

Hi

I have a Belkin wireless keyboard and mouse, it uses a usb connection.

I have this odd problem in that the shack PC doesn't recognise that they are
there when it boots up.  However once it has booted, if I pull out the USB
plug from the PC and push it back in again everything works fine.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I should look for the problem.?  I
don't really understand USB ports, as far as I can see you can't tell which
address it is using like you used to be able to do with device manager for
RS232 ports.  The same thing happens on our "house" laptop so it doesn't
appear computer specific.  The laptop runs XP Home and the shack PC runs XP
Professional.

Alex
