Ok but what is the mouse? serial--usb??
your going to need to be a little more specific on system and what it is you have as far as perefrials. can't pull answers out of a hat if we don't have a hat. Guess what I'm saying is if the mouse does not explistly state that it is both serial and ps/2-type it will only work on the single interface it is desighned for.

I had the same problem with my IBM thinkpad. Even though my mouse and keyboard where both PS 2 compatible, the mouse will only work on the serial socket. I presume that you have the ps2/serial adapter ? Try that.
