My notebook pc (WinXP) has stopped responding to my external mouse - it's an IBM notebook so it has one of those red dots built in mouse that i am having to use now and it sux ass...
I just upgraded so it can't really be windows - it's gotta be the BIOS or something that is interfering with my PS/2 slot - the external mouse does work but it's acting like the PS/2 slot is being overridden by the internal built in mouse. There is nothing wrong with the mouse or the PS/2 slot itself but something is telling the comp to ignore messages it recieves from that slot...
How can i fix this - is there something i can reset - i have connected 3 other mice to this slot and all of them worked allowing me to use the external mouse up until i restart the notebook and then that mouse will no longer be recognized.
Any one have ideas on what to do - there is an IBM recovery program that shows up that can be run before every startup -- but it ends up wanting to reinstall the default OS the comp came with (WinME)
