I didn't even do a software upgrade. I simply changed motherboards. Even kept the same processor, memory, add-in cards, etc. My only guess is that some PS/2 ports are better than others. > I finally solved the problem by plugging the mouse into > the USB port and all is well again. That is what I have done. But I have 3 systems connected through a PS/2 KVM (Belkin Omni 4 port). But before anyone blames the KVM, I have plugged the mouses I have tried directly into the PS/2 port. > Both the Logitech and the IBM > mouse I now use would go either way, but by going with USB, I was > able to rid the mouse of that large ps/2 adapter. Yup, me too. But ultimately, I would like to go back to using the PS/2 port as it's what my KVM uses. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
