change mouse

[JDurbin]

I installed NT Server with a serial mouse attached.&nbsp;&nbsp;My cat ate the mouse so I replaced it but with a PS/2 mouse.&nbsp;&nbsp;I changed the driver to standard ps2 and also tried microsfot ps2 but it still won't work.&nbsp;&nbsp;I get no mouse showing.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I go to change the driver I always see Microsoft Serial Mouse as the compatible device.&nbsp;&nbsp;I never had trouble in win 9x swapping mouses.&nbsp;&nbsp;Am I doing something wrong or is the new mouse bad?&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't test it on my win9x platform cause its a laptop and only accepts serial mouses<br>Thanks<br>John Durbin

You would need to change the driver and remove the serial mouse service. Doubt it is your mouse.<br><br>Remember Win9x is plug and pray, NT is install it or else...

JDurbin,<br><br>Have you ever used a PS2 mouse on that system before? If not, make sure the PS2 Mouse port is enabled in the BIOS.<br><br>P.S.- By the way, do you really expect us to believe that your &quot;cat&quot; ate your &quot;mouse&quot;?

LOL.&nbsp;&nbsp;No.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just a favorite computer war story of mine.&nbsp;&nbsp;BTW, I still remember having to walk uphill both ways to navigate in a screen before this current lazy mouse generation.&nbsp;&nbsp;(That was supposed to be another joke)<br>I installed NT with a serial mouse attached.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am running on *gulp* a Packard Hell 133mhz.&nbsp;&nbsp;I looked for the PS/2 BIOS setting and found none.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe I should see if PB has an updated BIOS available.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe the port isnt setup in NT?<br>Thanks for helping<br>John Durbin

Yes there was a BIOS setting for the mouse.&nbsp;&nbsp;I missed it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Stupid old Packard Hell<br><br>Thanks<br>JOhn Durbin
