PS2/USB mouse

I have a Chaintech Ct-9EJL1 mother board and have asked Chaintech for help
but they do not respond.

My problem is that when my PC was first setup, a PS2 mouse was installed.

I want to use a USB mouse but the PC stalls on startup with a message that
the PS2 mouse cannot be found and freezes.

Any ideas of a solution?
 
I can't find anything there, that's why I tried to contact Chaintech.

Where should I look, specifically.
 
I changed from a PS2 to USB mouse, had to try several USB ports before the
system recognized the mouse. I did not however get an error related to the
PS2 mouse. I have a Gigabyte and not a Chaintech so I can't help you on the
BIOS issue. You could try removing the PS2 mouse driver and see if windows
detects the USB mouse when you reboot.

Question: is the error reported while the POST test is displayed or during
the actual Windows boot process?

Apologies, I have, unwittingly, not told you the complete story.
I have been using the system with a USB mouse plugged into an adapter which
is plugged into the PS2 port.

To answer your question, on the first screen listing the drives info etc.

This time I pressed any key to continue and the system booted up normally.

I then plugged the USB mouse into a USB port and the system found the new
hardware and linstalled it, allowing me to carry on.
I then tried the USB mouse plugged in for the startup and although I still
have the "PS2" message I can carry on by just hitting any key.
It's a nuisance and I would like to get rid of this interruption.(Can't
think why I didn't try this metod previously)
 
Go into Device Manager and see if a PS2 mouse is listed along with the USB
mouse. If it is then un-install the PS2 mouse entry.

You can do this by choosing: Start/Administrative tools/Computer Management.
Then in the left pane click on Device Management, in the right pane click on
the + symbol next to the 'Mice and other pointing device entries', you
should see a listing for the PS2 mouse, right click on the PS2 mouse entry
and choose un-install.

This is a little strange.
If I use the USB mouse via the adaptor in the PS2 port(as normal) the mouse
is listed as PS2 compatible mouse.
If I start without any mouse and then plug in the USB mouse into a USB port
the mouse is then listed as a USB mouse. The same listing is given if I start
up with the USB mouse in a USB port.
 
That's normal since the adaptor make the USB mouse PS2 compatible.
Do you get the error when using the adaptor?

There is an option in your BIOS to tell it not to stop on errors. Check
your BIOS.
