Windows XP freezes when USB mouse/keyboard are attached but not when a serial set is attached

Windows XP SP2 freezes when it's rebooting and the desktop starts showing.
Up to this point I can move the mouse and then the computer freezes. This
happens only when I am connected using a USB mouse and keyboard (through a
hub). The system reboots fine when there's another set of serial mouse and
keyboard attached. At this point there are two sets of mice and keyboards.
One USB and one serial.

I am trying to find out why the system freezes when the USB only set is
attached.

Using a standard mouse and keyboard is ALWAYS best with any OS.

You should not use a USB keyboard and mouse through a USB hub. The system
cannot see the confirmations for these devices when used through a hub.

It is actually best to use a standard keyboard for best results, and use a
USB mouse directly with no hub. I have seen a number of problems with USB
keyboards. Some applications in some systems will freeze with a USB
keyboard.

To use a multifunction mouse, it needs to be using USB.

Try taking a good look at the market, there are plenty out there which
don't have to be USB. Now whether you choose to use USB or not is
your decision....
