Keyboard and Mouse does not work at all in W2K

[Sticko]

Hi, <br><br>I just installed windows 2000 professional as a dual boot with windows 98. I installed it in D drive (logical), with windows 98 in C.<br>If I just plug the keyboard, everythings seems alright. However, when I plug the mouse nothing is working (both keyboard and mouse). I tried 3 different mouses (2 Logitech using driver ver 9.0 --&gt; W2K compliants, and 1 Microsoft mouse).<br><br>Anyone have any idea ?<br>My computer is DELL Dimensions XPS T500 Pentium III 256 RAM<br><br><br>thanks, <br>Sticko

Sticko -<br><br>I recently purchased a new DELL Optiplex, and when it came to the mouse, I had only one choice (MicroSoft IntelliPoint v3.1)&nbsp;&nbsp;Logitech/regular mouse wasn't even an option - at least from DELL anyway.<br><br>There are a quite a few mice listed on the HCL for Win2K, but there are also a lot NOT supported.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would double check to see if the ones you've been trying are listed and/or supported.<br><br><A HREF="

Actually I went to logitech web sites, and it says my mouse is fully suported in windows 2000. In addition to that I've downloaded the latest mouseware.<br><br>The reason that I believe that it's supposed to work is couple months ago, with the same computer, I installed a same verison of Windows 2000, and it works just fine (not the clean install though). <br><br>thanks

Are we talking USB or PS/2 mouse/keyboard?<br><br>If it is PS/2, you shouldn't need any additional software to get the mouse to work in a standard fashion.<br><br>If it works in your dual boot Win98, we should assume all hardware is Ok.<br><br> <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

It's PS/2 mouse.<br>Yes you were right. But it hang when I plug the mouse in.<br><br>Any idea ?

Did both devices work when you were installing W2K? If so, what software did you install after the OS?<br><br>Are you using a standard Dell keyboard? Did you previously install MS Intellipoint software. I know that in previous versions of Intellipoint software it replaced the keyboard and mouse driver. This could cause problems when used on OEM specific keyboards with OEM specific functions.<br><br>Can you boot into Safe mode and get them to work? At what point does it hang...at the logon screen??<br><br> <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Yes I used standard Dell, and I used Logitech Mouseman wheel most of the time ( I still keep changing to know whether it's just happen only to certain brand or not)<br><br>No, Safe mode won't work either.<br>Here's how, everytime the windows 2000 logo first come out, <br>the mouse have to be plugged out (only have keyboard).<br>Then at any points in the future, if I plug the mouse back<br>it will give both of my mouse & keyboard not responding.<br><br>Isn't this weird ? However, I always believe that there is a solution in computer problem. <br><br>One more thing, Does anyone know how to uninstall Windows 2000 completely, so I only use windows 98 (I have dual boot right now)<br><br>thanks<br>

Dumb question, but do you have the mouse and keyboard plugged into the right ports? <p>Al<br><a href=mailto: atc-computing@home.com> atc-computing@home.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
