Award Medalion bios update

Hi DwayneW,

Have you tried another mouse (just to sort out that it isn't the mouse going bad..)
If you look at the device manager, do you have any exclamation marks.
I think this is a driver problem, try updating drivers for your mouse and for your motherboard.
Also, have you checked if all hardware you're using is on the win2k HCL?

Greetings,

I have tried 3 or 4 different types of mice. I restart with a different one connected and the result happens. I have even tried a usb mouse. Nothing. The mouse that I use is you general ps/2 mouse. The brands are different and I have checked them in several other pc's with different OS's. That's why I thought it might be the bios.
It is on the HCL.

Look if there are updated drivers for your motherboard.

Also, try "SFC /scannow" from the command prompt.

Also, try http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and see if microsoft has updated drivers.

Did the old mouse have some sort of utility/driver software loaded?  Some IBM mice (and all Microsoft/Logitech mice) have this stuff, and you'll have these sorts of problems if you upgrade (which is almost *NEVER* a good idea, always install clean when upgrading Windows to a new version).  Check the Add/REmove programs control panel (you can get around with the keyboard...press CTRL+ESC to bring up the Start menu, arrow up to Settings, Control Panel, then down to Add/REmove Programs and check for IBM EasyPoint or something similar (I don't recall what name IBM gives their mouse suite) and uninstall it.

No, there isn't any mouse programs installed. I'm going to reformat the hdd and reload windows and see if that does anything.
