Reply: (edit)You should remove the USB mouse if you are going to use a PS2 mouse. If you did that, I have no other suggestions. Michael J

Reply: (edit)Ok - your optical mouse is receiving power via the PS/2 port - I'm not positive that means the port is enabled in the BIOS. The option should be there, maybe you should look harder? Worth looking at Device Manager to see just what's showing under 'mice' You won't need a driver disk for a standard PS/2 mouse, but it may be different for an optical one. Is this really a PS/2 or are you using a USB-to-PS/2 adapter? Make & model? We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true
