I need to add a second usb mouse to the target image.
I already have
"Mouse Class Driver" and "Class Installer - Mice and other pointing devices"
components installed.
If I plug the second mouse in while the target image OS is running, it
doesn't work. This is what I expected.

What component do I need to add to get a second usb mouse to work? Thanks.
 
I know that the second mouse is not working because I have it connected to
the machine, and when I move it around, the mouse doesn't move.
I have an application that will have a regular mouse and a touch screen.
The touch screen is effectively the second mouse and since I don't have it
just yet, I'm testing it using a normal usb mouse in place of the screen. I
figure if the 2nd usb mouse works right now, there's a good chance the touch
screen will work.
 
Steve,

I'm just curious how do you know that your second mouse in not working?
Do you have some DirectInput application that supports two mouses.
And for what purpose do you need this, if it is not a secret?

I added "Generic USB Input Device Support" component found in
Software:System:System Services and both mice worked fine PS2 and usb.
 
I have no idea if it is possible to use two mouses to move one pointer. This
is probably standard mouse driver feature not to support this.
But with extra drivers for touch screen you should be able to make it work.

I have an application similar to yours.
However, I have the touchscreen with a serial interface on COM2.
I can then either boot it with a PS2 mouse, or plug in a USB mouse and it
works fine.

I had to add the appropriate HID driver to make the mouse work.

Have you tried to get them to work one at a time first?
(ie, do both mice work if you try them only one at a time from boot up?)

Just for grinns, I hooked up 2 of the same style USB mouse to my target that
has a touchscreen on COM2.
All 3 worked.
