You're sitting there saying 'Jeez, does this guy think I'm an idiot or something, of course they are plugged into the correct ports.') But believe me, even the best make little mistakes like that sometimes. If your computer is reasonably new it will have 2 coloured PS/2 ports on the back. The purple one is for the keyboard and the green one is for the mouse.	Guest (0)

The purple one is for the keyboard and the green one is for the mouse. If they are not coloured look carefully for labels next to the ports.	Guest (0)

Or try your recovery floppy: it ought to be able to start, even without a mouse. Have you still got a stupid mouse which works, since the 'intelligent' one doesn't?	Guest (0)
