| 61599 | 2002-07-11 07:50:00 | I recently purchased an MS Intellimouse compatible PS/2 optical mouse, Plugged it in and it worked fine(no setting up), but when I tried to connect to the internet, I received a Modem not plugged in or not found error, I removed the new mouse replaced it with the old mouse and the modem worked. I run Win 98 on a 500 mHz Pentium. Could this be an IRQ conflict, and hows the best way to fix it? |
