I was very afraid to post this in this section as it might not get any replies before mid 2007. I say that just cause I never look in here and i imagine since I only came here with a problem not many people come here for fun, especially hidden within the forums.
Anyway the problem begins with the failure of my asus a7v333 mobo a few weeks back... tried everything to get it up and going again but i just screwed something up so it is haning on my wall to look kewl if it can't server its purpose as a mommy board. Anyway I had borrowed a friends gigabyte ga-7xxxx (not sure exactly SIS chipset though) board and put my parts in it for a while and all worked fine except this one little thing. The PS2 mouse was never detected, and i tried several different ones I knew worked (took them straight of rigs that were up and running and using them). This is windows XP pro which should detect it and at least put some generic drivers for the time being. Anyway so i navigated with the keyboard for a while then just borrowed an ancient serial mouse from my friend. Windows saw it immediately and all was right in the world again.
The problem is this was a temporary solution for the rig I was using with my friends mobo. It didnt seem like a big deal, and i just assumed it was my friends mobo not working properly or something and by the time I set up this rig it would be in the past.... Rafiki was wrong, just because its in the past doesn't mean it doesn't matter. This same problem started up with my new SKT600 mobo that came in today. I tried everything. I flashed to the newest bios I tried to manually install downloaded drivers etc. Some of the adding problems is there is no mouse to select in the device manager to install drivers. Its like a horror story and I know it would work with other connection types (USB or serial). After doing some research some people complained of theses same symptoms and claimed that both USB mice worked and USB mice with a PS2 converter worked. I dont have money to go spending on mice, and this mouse has always worked before, I just don't understand why it wont install drivers for it. I've tried repluggin it in for windows to see, rebooting you name it I prolly done it. IF ANYONE COULD PLEASE OFFER ME THEIR KIND AND INFINATE WISDOM THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
A few more things you should know, I tested the mouse on other rigs and it works fine, and the mouse lights up with power etc when plugged in.
Its a dynapoint cheapo h3003 mouse (dont laugh it has always worked amazing for me even in extreme gaming).
Thanx for reading my life problems compiled into one of the longest posts ever.
