I am running a PIII 667, 256meg ram, etc. I run XP Pro, & recently purchased a MS Intellimouse Explorer. If it is connected to USB port, bootup halts after checking drives. If I remove the mouse & reboot, all is ok. I can reconnect mouse & everything is great until next boot. I would appreciate any feedback, thanks.

Intellimouses seem to cause quite a few problems, is USB enabled in the BIOS?
I think the way to get round this is to stop some services, such as msi8042 that control a ps/2 mouse
The experts will need to help you with the exact services to stop
What OS were you using also?
