No mouse on initial boot!. . .HELP!

Need Help!

OS WinME, mouse is always FROZEN after intitial power-up boot. I MUST reboot to BIOS and then exit bios back to system before mouse will unfeeze. Once unfozen, mouse continues to work fine until machine is powered down. Then the cycle starts all over again.

Any suggestions or tweeks?

Machine is homebuilt P1.7, Asus P4b, with standard serial mouse, Asus Geforce 3, 526MBRdram.

(WinMe system hardware registry shows no conflict with any of my hardware.)

 

Have you tried the other Serial Port.

If you have an Internal Modem it may be using ( or trying to ) the IRQ ( 3 or 4 ) for the Serial Port you now have the Mouse on. it should should in the Device Manager if it is.

And if the above conflict does exist it is not unusual for it not to show in the device manager.

If you have a PS2 port availabe the Mouse would be better on it.

thanks. . .still not working!

BillyBob,

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I'm sorry to say I gave some miss info. The mouse is on the PS2 port that is assigned for the mouse on the mobo itself. I have not tried to attach the mouse to one of the serial ports. I would've thought IRQ if I was using serial. But, is that the case if I use the PS2 port?
