ps/2 mouse only works in safe mode, not normal mode
Hi!
I can only use my ps/2 mouse in safe mode. It does not work in Normal mode at all. I'm running Windows 98 and up until a few weeks ago, the mouse worked fine in Normal mode. I reloaded the mouse drivers but that hasn't fixed the problem. I bought another ps/2 mouse, installed the driver and it still won't work in Normal mode. I have one USB port and so today I tried a USB mouse, to no avail. I've checked the Microsoft Support database and can find articles on how to get your computer to run in Safe Mode, and what to do if the mouse isn't working in Safe Mode, but nothing about the mouse not working in Normal Mode but working fine in safe mode. Sorry if this is a totally silly question. I *had* thought myself pretty computer -savvy, until now. Thanks in advance for any advice/help you can give me! |

until now. dont fuss,;;;;; their is No such thing as 'computer savvy', but rather only those who strive to know more and find out they know less. (you'll meet many mvp's here who qualify) comps' are as much a mystery here as they are anywhere in the ether; but here trivial tips and hints and fixes are the nature of the game...... but in the Global world of mankind, you'll find nothing here offered that isnt already known.
