Hi Vern, You don't mention if this is a serial or P/S2 mouse/connection. First check that com1 is not disabled in the BIOS. If its a serial mouse, then reseat the cable's connection on the motherboard or replace the cable. The connection on the mobo could be bad; if you have a second serial port connection, try that. If not, find an old controller card and disable (with jumpers) everything but the serial port on the card and disable your com port in the BIOS. If the mouse is a P/S2 type, then buy a serial mouse and plug it into a serial port.

So I loaded Win95 on it and now when starting up it says no mouse was found. I've tried 3 different ones and none are found. I figure it has to be a hardware problem. I checked the pins, all nine are standing straight up. What can go bad inside the case? Thank you, Vern ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
