[KGB-911]

Hello,

I need help, and fast!

My PS/2 Port does not work. and my Logitech cordless mouse has passed away.

I cannot use the PC very well atm. I am navigating around PCR with the TAB button - it is taking hours.

Please help if you have any suggestions.

I have never used the port, so i dont know

Thanks,

Oh... do you need to restart for PS/2 devices?

ahh... that explains it... i am using half a USB mouse that i found - has no cover, just a circuit board

You say you've never used the ps/2 port. If you've been using something like a usb mouse, i think you'll find that you'll simply have to go into the BIOS and either disable usb mouse, or enable ps/2 mouse. That should do the trick.

Everything i use is USB

As I mentioned before, since you normally use USB, chances are that if you then want to use ps/2, you'll have to enable them in bios.

I will have a look, I am using the circuitboard ok.

It is optical. I am waiting for someone to get back to me about my MediaPlay mouse
