Windows 2000 - No mouse port

Darkfox3393 · 05-02-2006, 09:20 PM

I just installed Windows 2000 Pro on my computer. When I started it up, there was no mouse pointer. I have my mouse plugged into the PS/2 port but when I navigate with my keyboard to the Device Manager, There isn't any mouse ports. Any clue? Thanks for any help.

Its possible the port has died on ya, does it reconize a USB mouse?
Although it shouldnt matter, are the drivers installed for the motherboard?
