Unwanted Message

[Leon Perrins]

Hi'

I have just upgraded following a complete system crash and
have XP Pro installed.

When this was loaded the engineer used a PS2 mouse.
I use a USB one.
At start up a message is displayed:-
PS2 mouse initialisation Failure has occurred.
Press any key to continue.

How can I remove this message?

There is no mention of a PS2 mouse in Device Mgr.
I have tried starting up using a PS2 mouse and disabling it
but nothing removes the message.

Regards

Leon Perrins

Hi Leon,

You would need to disable the PS/2 port in the system BIOS.
