most hp keys are on a bios chip on the mother board! if the mb goes down you cant use the recover cd that came with the notebook/pc as the oem code will be different. the computers might have 1 serial no but a multiple licence so all will have the same no
is your mouse optical or roller? If Its a roller mouse try taking it apart and cleaning it. mine was doing the same as yours and this turned out to be the problem

download and deploy service pack 2 to multiply computers
this is how i got sp2
i've slipstreamed sp2 onto xp pro with an invalid no and put it on an old machine! no problems occured either in the the slipstreaming process or the loading of xp pro. also installed on an original xp pro and no problem at all. you must be very unlucky.
just downloaded sp2 and am wondering how to integrate the sp2 onto my xp pro disc so i dont have to load it as a seperate unit! i did it with sp1 any answers?
