USB optical mouse

Hello,
I have windows xp home installed and it was installed with ps/s mouse
and keyboard. I am trying to install a USB optical mouse and I got the
error below:
A problem has occured during the installation. Your hardware might not
work correctly.
The USB port is enabled and I usually connect USB stick memory drives
and it works fine, but there is a problem with the mouse.
Mouse lights up, initializes during Bios routine but somehow windows
does not see it.
Thank you
