Hi
The PS2 Mouse port on the rear panel seems to have stopped working. The mouse pointer shows on the monitor screen, optical light on the mouse is on but moving the mouse physically has no effect, (pointer stationery).
Have tried plugging a USB mouse into a USB port on the rear panel, it works fine when windows (XP media Centre Edition) is running, but computer won't boot up if you leave the mouse plugged in to the USB port.
So basically, when windows is running and I plug the mouse in, all's well, Shut down the computer and it won't boot up.
If I unplug the mouse and THEN boot up the computer, windows boots up ok as normal.
I've always used the PS2 port for the mouse (with adaptor) as this problem has always been there from when I first bought the computer (8 years ago).
Now that the PS2 port is not functioning I'm stumped
My other USB devices (printer, keyboard etc. work okay btw.)
Any suggestions welcome.
