NO MOUSE DETECTED
The problem is at startup, the following error message is
displayed: Windows did not detect a mouse attached to the computer......... The cursor sits in the middle of the screen. The keyboard does not respond either. I got a new mouse and keyboard (serial), same message. I can't get into anything to see if something is missing. It's my girls computer and Internet withdrawl is setting in. Any help is appreciated. |

NO MOUSE DETECTED
Can it be they are plugged into each other's socket? (I guess, really,
you'd get a complaint from BIOS, if it were that.) I'd hate to fool with my own mouse/keyboard this way, but... (a) Boot to Safe Mode. (Hold F5 as you boot, or hold CTRL for the Startup Menu. Alternatively, turn on the Startup Menu at "START, Run, MSConfig, Advanced button.) (b) "Control Panel, System, Device Manager tab". (c) Open the Mouse branch, & Remove every Mouse driver in it. If there were more than one (& just one is plugged in), you had a "ghost". (d) Reboot to Windows Normal Mode. If it does not automatically detect the mouse at that reboot, you will need to reinstall it the way you originally did. CAVEAT: I have a "Readme" that says (speaking of a Device Manager remove of the mouse)... .......Quote.............. Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0 have the ability to load device drivers without running the Setup program. Loading the devices drivers this way, however, does not install the user interface programs such as the Logitech Enhanced Mouse Control Center. Using the "Have Disk" function will install only the Logitech mouse drivers. .......End of quote..... -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "HARPO" wrote in message ... | The problem is at startup, the following error message is | displayed: Windows did not detect a mouse attached to the | computer.........

NO MOUSE DETECTED
Thanks, PCR, but I can't boot to safe mode cuz the
keyboard does not function at all, almost like there is no connection, no caps light, number lock light, etc - dead in the water along with the dead mouse. This happened once before and new replacements solved the problem, this time, no go. Could it be the connector for the plug on the back of the CPU? Have no fear, you will not be held responsible should bodily harm befall me from the wrath of the loved one. -----Original Message----- Can it be they are plugged into each other's socket?

NO MOUSE DETECTED
Are the keyboard and mouse connectors default serial connections on the PC?
If not, get the proper type. For instance, PS/2 or USB. The old style keyboard connector was serial in nature, but not a standard serial connector (like com1 or com2). "HARPO" wrote in message ...
