| 118214 | 2003-02-04 04:43:00 | I wonder if the PS/2 socket on the motherboard is damaged. If so, a serial mouse would be the cheapest fix. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 118215 | 2003-02-04 04:59:00 | Or a USB! | Thomas (1820) | ||
| 118216 | 2003-02-04 05:00:00 | If I use a serial port do I have to make any changes to any thing ? Thanks |

| 118217 | 2003-02-04 05:04:00 | I think that Windows will detect it and make any changes itself. It will look for the PS/2 one first, and if it doesn't find it, it will look at the serial ports. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 118218 | 2003-02-04 05:21:00 | Had major problems with PS2 mice a few months back. Switched to a serial one and all problems solved. Posting here showed I was not alone. A few others had the same problems. |
