I have an old computer so it needs an adapter to make it have a ps/2 connection. i have an optical mouse with a usb port connection and an adapter to make that a ps/2 connection. windows doesn't detect the mouse and i've installed the drivers and rebooted. i've also used another mouse with a ps/2 connection and it didn't work either. in device manager it doesn't even have a mouse listed. I have win95, if that helps. So Help me please!
 
9 out of 10 adapters fail to work when connecting a PS2 mouse to a COM port, so you're problem is most likely there.

Get yourself an old mouse, they cost nothing... and you're problem is solved...
