always have to reboot comp to get mouse to work
for some reason whenever i turn on my computer, my mouse doesn't work. ever. yet if i restart the computer it always works the second time the computer boots. i've tried different mice and i've tried wiggling the plug, etc. and no matter what, it just never works on first boot and always works on second... what can cause this? btw, it's a ps/2 mouse. i don't have a usb mouse to test. i asked on another forum and was told to re-install the drivers. but a mouse should work without special drivers. in fact this is a new computer, and when i turned it on first time to set up windows, my mouse didn't work. so it's not a drivers problem. -- gnznroses |

There is probably a CD for the MOBO install that driver / software kit. -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens. --Schiller |

OK. for my next suggestion goto the mobo manufacturer website and see if there is a BIOS update available. sometimes weird problems like this are solvable with a BIOS update. BTW backup the current BIOS first if you can. -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens. --Schiller |
