I have zero interest in doing this, but just out of curiosity, if you
plugged a different brand of mouse into each USB port, since each
would have its own driver, might they not all work?


I have had more than one pointing device working - under XP though not 7
(though that could be a hardware/driver matter rather than a difference
between XP and 7, as I'm on a different machine), the touchpad and an
external mouse both worked. I think two mice will too. However, they
work thus: movement of either moves _the_ mouse pointer. What the OP
wanted was _two_ on-screen mouse pointers, each controlled by its own
mouse.




Yes, I know. I was replying to Gene Wirchenko's comment, not to the
OP's question.
