That shows how to get the drivers from the xp cd included from Dell if I'm not mistaken ....I need somewhere to get the driver from.

Her point was that if you installed the Chipset Driver, which is the FIRST driver you should have installed, it includes the usb.  Click on Product Support, then Downloads. 

Hmmm any advice?

Advice?

1) Don't post repetitively because you are impatient :smileywink:

2) Don't plug your mouse into the FRONT ports.  It won't work.

3) If it's a back port, go into Device Manager and delete the ports, then reboot and let them be rediscovered. 

If that doesn't work, it's the mouse.

I only added one post, wasn't trying to seem too impatient, the first responses came a bit faster and was expecting the same. Sorry if I seemed so, just been trying to get all this stuff done on this computer for my friend and it has takena bit longer than I expected and told him it would take.

I'll try this once again.  THERE ARE NO USB DRIVERS.  None.

Once you installed the Chipset Driver, you're done.  One time.  No more. 

If you're talking about the Mouse Drivers...?

When you reinstalled XP did you do it with anything plugged into the USB ports?

I understand, it's part of the chipset, No there was nothing plugged into the usb when installing windows. the mouse is plug and play, it works fine on both other computers. When I open device manager it shows the problem with the usb controller. Also, I plugged in a 128mb uhhh, memory card thingy, and it is showing that the usb port is low speed (1.1). Eh, this thing is driving me insane.
