There is no option is the bios that deals with ps2 mouse port or anything of that nature. I am using a &quot;real&quot; ps/2 mouse and not one with a converter plug.<br />

What mouse do you have setup in Windows?<br />
I think it will work with a serial mouse driver.

My laptop comes with a PS/2 port in the back for either an external keyboard or mouse. When i hook a keyboard into the port, everything works fine. But when i try and use the mouse, it doesn't work. Does anyone know why this happens? i thought maybe the port went bad but if so why would the keyboard work?<br />
<br />
thanks in advance
