Hi People,
I have dual boot system on my Laptop running Windows xp pro and Linux.
I had my usb mouse working on the both operating system. But it doesnt any
more.
The mouse works fine on the other computer that I have.

I had a29 as bios version before, I upgraded it to A32, and still no joy.
I initially thought that It might be power problem to the usb port, so I
disabled the onboard modem and reduced the monitor brightness. But that doesn’t
help either.

I have plugged other usb mouse in to the laptop and that doesn’t work either.!

Also, I have A4Tech mouse which lights up when you connect to the Laptop. It
still lights up so it is still getting the power, but none of my operating
systems are able to detect the device.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
