Recently I swapped the hard drives between 2 of my home pc's. One of the pc's however seems to be working ok, except that the mouse will not respond. If I switch the drives back, the mouse begins working fine. I've tried deleting the port and drivers and still no luck. I would like to ge tthis to work, the pc's with the bad mouse is faster then the other.

Thanks!

Wierd dilema, have you tried using a serial mouse instead of a ps2, or the other way around. Might be worth a shot. Thats the only thing I can think of since, I don't see how a mouse and harddrive could ahve conflicts. Maybe change a irq around for the mouse.

You say you deleted the drivers, but did you uninstall the mouse from Device manager?

Remove the mouse, and re-boot.
Direct Windows to use the default driver from the CD, or the mouse mfgs driver.

Hi
1- You said that you Swapped the hard drives in to PC when you DO that if you are using deffrent OSes then you may have a problem with drivers for devices since there are defirent drivers for diffrent OSes on the otherhand if the devices are deffrent then you also may have problems too.
2- You said that the mouse not working is faster does that mean they are deffrent type and brand. This will lead to the question are they using the same port. (Serail,or PS2 or USB) if they are deffernt ports maybe that port is disabled form the one not working check your device manager for error or a yellow "?" .Remove then install the device then rebbot.

plase comment in your qestion about your OSes, is the PC are the same hardware and the mices which type (Serail,or PS2 or USB).

Good luck
