usb causing conflict with mouse

[tetramethrin]

I just reinstalled windows me. The computer seemed fine until I tried plugging anything into the usb ports. The new hardware window comes up , but the computer freezes and the mouse goes out. I have to restart the computer several times before the mouse starts responding again. There are no listed conflicts under the mouse. I don't know what could cause this. The mouse connects to ps2 not a usb.

HI
1. In the BIOS you can set.. ASSIGN IRQ FOR USB
2. If your motherboard is intel, install the Intel.inf related to USB from the CD or download from the site.
3. If the motherboard is VIA chipset, do same related tpo VIA chipset.
In all probability, the USB related info has not been installed correctly, and Win98SE has done that with its default drivers.

Hope this helps you
