Recently bought a new keyboard which came with an optical mouse. It's one of those cheap jobs you can by in supermarkets-an S&V brand. Keyboard works great, however everytime I boot up Windows is unable to detect my mouse. I have to restart using Ctrl-Alt-Del before the mouse will work. Very annoying. I've checked through mouse properties and device driver but everything seems to be o.k. Maybe it's because it's a cheapie, I don't know. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers :)

Also to pctek-Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. My OS is Windows 98SE and the mouse connects to the computer via the same connection as my old mouse in the back of the H/D (P/S2 I think?). Hope this helps.

389207 2005-09-29 04:11:00 Do you have USB on your Win 98SE? Tried to use a optical mice on a Win 95 setup that did'nt have USB, plugged in OK to existing mouse PS2 connection but system refused to recognise it. Mouse worked no problem with WIN XP FrankS (257)
