I am not a techie and have not installed any drivers etc. Kindly guide. I have win 98 SE. Obtain the drivers (from the maker's web site if you have no CD), instal them, and see if it makes a difference. Then repost with more details e.g. how your optical mouse is connected. E.g. a USB mouse is not activated until after USB drivers have been loaded. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Message is normal at the first encounter in windows 98/98SE with a USB
mouse. You need to go further than the message. -- Jonny wrote in message ups.com...

Optical mouse not detected
To clarify, this occurs just as soon as the machine cranks up, long before
Windows begins to load? If so, it's an issue of "Legacy USB support", which needs to be enabled in the BIOS (usually you press DEL or F1 or maybe even F10 just as the first screen appears.) Depending on your motherboard and BIOS, it may simply be that you'll have to live with a double-start. That or revert to a PS/2 mouse. You might also check with the mobo manufacturer for a BIOS update. But make *SURE* you have the correct mobo model number, a good battery backup UPS, *and* the intestinal fortitude. A screwed up BIOS update will bring the whole world to a grinding halt and probably force you to buy a new BIOS chip from Mr. BIOS (Unicore.) It's happened to me a couple of times -- Gary S.

It's happened to me a couple of times I have upgraded my BIOS a few times and like Gary warned -- user beware. Fortunately, it was fairly simple on this machine and I actually updated to the latest BIOS version a few weeks ago. I have an ASUS motherboard and ASUS now has an update utility so all I had to do was download the correct BIOS, use the update utility, point to where the BIOS upgrade was, BIOS flashed and restart the computer. I was amazed that I did not have to deal with DOS to flash the BIOS. (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I had to reconfigure my BIOS settings as well after the BIOS was flashed) |
