Change USB boot order?

[mothermachine]

Hi folks,

Is it possible to change the order that external USB devices like mice, keyboards etc are loaded by windows when booting up? My keyboard and mouse seem to be the very last things that get loaded so it takes a good extra 30 seconds before I can type my password in and log in.

I've tried rearranging the ports but no luck there.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

eek. doesnt sound good. :/ yeh it's a weird one. i mean the USB keyboard does work during POST. it's as if it turns itself off again after POST and while win loads... strange eh?

so most likely is that i've got something iffy plugged in that's taking way too long to initialise? maybe a printer on a long extension cable or my wacom tablet or something. i guess the best way to find out is to remove everything except mouse and keyboard and see if that fixes it, then one by one start adding stuff.

cheers,
