I can’t remember exactly, because this is a problem on older machines, but its something like the PC can’t use 1 and 3 at the same time or 2 and 4, only one or the other, so find what COM port the serial was using and disable it, then try the new mouse. -- http://www.WindowsForumz.com/ This article was posted by author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.WindowsForumz.com/Hardwar...ict235656.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
