thanks for the response.

I'm working on a computer with a serial port now.

I turned it off, plugged in the mouse, and then turned it on. I got the same behavior. It worked for a few seconds and then on response.

I tried downloading some kensington drivers for the mouse, but they don't detect a mouse at all.

Should a serial mouse work automatically after starting up? Is it possible the drivers are messed up? Or is this more likely a problem with the mouse?

thanks,
eric

What's the best way to go about debugging this?
