Mouse Question

I pluged in a new Basic Optical Mouse into the same port my Logitec PS/2 was
pluged into before turning on my computer, thinking it will work, but mothing
happens, mouse pointer will not move. Replug the logtec back in, its works.
What is the proper way to install a new Basic Optical Mouse?

Did your mouse not come in a software disk?? I believe that mouse needs
Intellipoint 4.12 to operate on Me. You can download the software from
he

Heirloom, old and that's what the search
revealed

I replaced my Logitech Mouse wheel (sticky wheel), original equipment with a
Logictech optical mouse ps/2 usb, works erractically. Been searching this
site & Logictechs, can't find the answer for normal operation..

Was this a 'new' mouse that you plugged in?? Other than my previous post
updating of the software, you may want to test the wire and connection.
Hold your mouse still and wiggle the wire coming from it and also the
connection at the back of your cpu. If you get any movement of the cursor
(or any other reaction to the movement), you probably have a defective cord
(not impossible even new out-of-the-box). Sorry I couldn't say, "This is
your problem and here is how to fix it", but, not being there makes a big
difference.

Another option would be to boot into the Safe Mode and see if the mouse
operates properly there. If so, you can just about rely on the problem
being related to the mouse and/or video card software.
Heirloom, old and just glad mine
works

An optical mouse won't work well on some surfaces like exceptionally glossy
ones of smooth surfaces with no texture to them. Are you trying it on a
standard mouse pad? If not, try that. If you're already using a mouse pad,
try something else.

Bingo! I was was using my Dell (OE) mouse pad (glossy). Removed that & just
using my padded covered table (no mouse pad) which my old Dell (4100) monitor
& keyboard sits on.
Heirloom it is a new mouse which has a ps/2 adapter that plugs into my old
usb port.
Thanks everyone for responding. Looks like it's fixed.

Thanks for the information, I returned the mouse to the store for a refund,
cleaned the old logitech, it works fine. No software came with that new
Mouse, but I'm happy now, appreciate you help!
