| 213141 | 2004-02-06 02:51:00 | Could also be the mouse port. Is it PS2 type, a round plug as verses a USB that is oblong? Try booting up your PC without the mouse plugged in. Does it come up with a warning saying it cannot detect a mouse? If it detects the mouse, and you have tested the mouse on another PC, then it indicates a software/driver fault. Post back with result. |

| 213142 | 2004-02-06 02:58:00 | its a ps2.. i tried restarting with the mouse but there is no message. i think it could be the driver but i dont know what company it is i thought about buying a new mouse but if it works on my laptop perhaps its the computer and not the mouse |

| 213143 | 2004-02-06 03:09:00 | I haven't heard of any PS2 mice that require a driver to work. Microsoft has a default driver that works even with the optical type. You just need a driver for the extra functions such as scroll functions and the extra buttons available now. I'll have to go think about this, there is something in the back of my mind that is trying to come out, but not now. Something to do with turning off the keyboard/mouse for those situations such as servers. Maybe someone else will come up with it, while my brain try's to find that particular memory cell. |
