ACPI and Mouse problem

[NiteRuleR]

After installing ACPI for my motherboard (Intel SE440BX BIOS revision P12), my PS/2 Logitech mouse has stopped working, i get the message &quot;The device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed. (code 24.) ¦¦ try upgrading the device drivers for this device&quot;<br><br>I have tried...<br>1. reinstalling the mouse drivers<br>2. reinstalling the motherboard drivers<br>3. changing the resources (12 is the only one mice can use)<br>4. using a different mouse<br>5. doing an auto update on the net<br>6. reinstalling windows<br><br>luckily i can use the keyboard as well as a mouse (well allmost) but i have now run out of ideas<br><br>i need help (and not from Microsoft who's default reaction is, quote, &quot;you will need to reformat your hard drive and reinstall windows&quot... i would really rather NOT have to do this as i have over 18Gb of files on my computer

hmm, have you tried going out and buying a cheapie 5$ serial mouse(one that fits into a Com 1/2 port) and trying that until you can figure out further problems, also check your hardware settings under Control Pannel-&gt; System -&gt; Device manager, it may be for some reason disabled, or has further info there. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
