I have a serial mouse port and i tried to use a ps2 mouse by using a serial adapter. I tried two different adapters and neither worked. I tried the mouse in a different computer and it worked fine. If anyone knew a reason for this or could tell me how i could get the mouse to work, that would be great.

Did you try it in serial mode on other 'puter ?
Not all Ps2 mice are serial compatable, even if you have the right plug adapter.

I kinda had the same problem.(Windows 98se)

try going to
CONTROL PANNEL - ADD NEW HARDWARE - and have it search for new hardware, make sure your mouse is installed.

my computer didn't find the mouse until I did these steps

make sure your mouse is hooked to the serial port first before you have it search for new hardware.

I screw up my words and said make sure your mouse is installed in the post above.
