It was a serial mouse and was fairly old so I just went and bought him a new one. I hooked the new one up and it still didn't work. I checked all the settings in the control panel and they all seemed right. I also rebooted and went into the CMOS to see if anything had been disabled. I finally got frustratedwith all the crap he had booting in the background everytime I re-booted that I formatted the hard drive and re-installed windows... thinking maybe he had messed up his drivers somehow. Stil nothing....... Now after all this he tells me, his mouse was snaggin under his desk and he had given it a good YANK. I checked the pins and they all SEEM fine, but I'm not sure if he somehow damaged the serial port etc. Is there any way to test the port???? did you get a real serial mouse or did you by a ps/2 mouse and then use an adaptor you already had? unless the mouse was designed to be used as serial or ps/2 it won't work if youir kid yanked on the cord, he could have damaged the mouse but it's not likely he hurt the port itself but it would not be a bad idea to open the case and check inside to be sure the wiring didn't come off The Original Mouse was a REAL serial mouse. I couldn't find a real one at Futureless Shop, so had to buy a PS2 mouse and adapter to fit the ps2 mouse and the serial port. I also just changed the cable that cmes off the motherboard to the serial port, thinking maybe he broke the connection at the pin, but still no luck. ok then you will have to get a real serial mouse Just bought a REAl serial mouse and installed the drivers.... Windows boots and comes up with a message saying there is no mouse attached. I then deleted the mouse in the controll panel\system\deviices (?) and reinstalled the driver for that mouse etc. ...... same problem. The time I'm killin tryin to fix his computer... I might be cheaper to buy him another one :-) ANY ideas would be appreciated |
