Serial to PS/2 mouse change

[Guest]

Hi
i just bought a ps/2 optical A4tech mouse. I had a standard serial mouse
installed before. Now when i plug the new mouse and start winXP (SP1) it
stucks when entering. I only can enter in secure mode, and the mouse appears
installed and working fine in control panel. I even downloaded drivers from
the manufacturer but it still don't work.
Anyone knows what can i do about it??
please help
Thanx in advance

Check your COM ports, you may need to disable one in your bios or from
device manager. I can’t remember exactly, because this is a problem on
older machines, but its something like the PC can’t use 1 and 3 at the
same time or 2 and 4, only one or the other, so find what COM port the
serial was using and disable it, then try the new mouse.

serial port 1 on the bios to solve it
