494580 2006-10-26 22:27:00 I have recently had boot up problems that I initially thought were software only to find it was a hardware problem. The optical mouse was the cause of all of them. Even though I tossed the old ones away, I now find that every 12 months I get mouse related problems. I would suggest to anyone that has boot up problems to first look at changing their optical mouse before looking for problems else where. Hope this is a help to someone. :) qwerty (8480)

After booting, plug in the mouse and away you go.

It would be helpful to know what brand and model of mouse is allegedly slowing boot times. I use IR mice and have no problems at all, so it could very well be a configuration problem confined to a very small number of computers i.e.<2.

494582 2006-10-27 00:59:00 I had a boot up problem some years ago and then found that the mouse and the keyboard were plugged into the wrong PS/2 ports ... (keyboard in mouse port, mouse in keyboard port, the ports were not colored nor had icons ...) developer (4447)

No, no. Mice. The plural of mouse.

One book I read had the plural of mouse as mouses!

494585 2006-10-27 04:46:00 look

singular: mouse, louse, house
plural: mice, lice, houses

yes houses should be "hice" but that would sound stupid.

english is random like that
