New mouse and keyboard Windows XP does not work, what to do?

I once rausgekramt our old computer with Windows XP, because I like to pull down files. Have it turned on, works. Have my USB mouse and keyboard connected, but it does not work. Have already tried other USB ports and restarted it, all futile. On the keyboard and the mouse it can't be lying, yesterday were still connected to the laptop and my keyboard is also lit, with my other mouse, there was also no response, what can I do? He's even switched to the screen saver now that a diddle is floating around xD Can you help me?

Driver installed?

Keyboard and mouse with cable connecting.

and then download the usb drivers, then it should go again with the usb set.

can remind me darkly, that it was only with the sp3 no more usb problems. The drivers were already there.

What I can think of, you load a linux distribution start (just start, not install) the old pc just with this linux and pull you the files on a stick.

All necessary drives are automatically loaded.

Do not forget changes to the hardware will be activated on XP after the next reboot.

Otherwise, with a https://www.amazon.de/...078TJ6NPQ/ most usb taps should at least be recognized as standard 104s.
