1. Try the Add New Hardware wizard to make the machine search for new devices.<br>
<br>
2. PS/2 mice are not necessarily compatible with the serial port, even with a converter. You may need a different mouse. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

Try entering system setup and disabling the PS/2 port in BIOS and make sure the serial ports are enabled. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
