418838 2006-01-06 22:48:00 Have a look in the BIOS on the machine.
There should be an option to enable USB DOS emulation or something like that. I can't remember the exact name right now :(

Agreed, but have a look here, scrolling down to USB Mouse in DOS

www.bootdisk.com

You would be best off getting a PS/2 mouse and forget USB for running real DOS .
