maybe you need to reinstall the software of your mouse.

This was a common problem on windows vista 64 bit if memory serves me..

I think the conclusion was to keep trying different ports while restarting or try a usb 1.1 instead of 2.0 port. Don't really remember though..

This used to happen to me on Windows XP 32 bit. It would only start happening after I installed drivers from the disk that came with my motherboard (for sound, ethernet, etc.).

I never found a reason or a solution, only a work around.

I would have to leave the USB devices unplugged. After the Windows XP Loading screen, it flashes black before windows appears; I had to plug it in on that black screen.
