Try an Ubuntu/Knoppix live CD and see if the mouse works better there.
If it does then you know it's an OS problem, and you'll want to reload
XP on it.

indicated at all in Hardware Mangler.
BIOS is mum w.r.t. mouse.
Control Panel/Mouse is empty.
Does this mean the PS/2 port is dead? I've tried multiple mice without
success.
Even USB mice are problematic, although they "sometimes" work.
Thanx,
