Solve : optical mouse & serial port?

Answer»

on my old computer i use a ps2 mouse with e CONVERTOR jack that allows the ps2 mouse toi connect via a serial port
i have now bought an optical mouse but it wont work through the same convertor jack  BETTER to use the PS2 port.the computer does not have a ps2 port that s why i'm using the ps2 to serial convertor.  Have you attempted to install the drivers that MAY have come with the mouse? Quote

the computer does not have a ps2 port that s why i'm using the ps2 to serial convertor.  


Hate to tell you...but...if it has no PS2 port...the computer is not even a Pentium 1.  The mouse you just bought is worth more than the computer.

Supply more info on computer (make, model) and what version of DOS and/or Windows you are using.computer - pentium 1
cpu -  mmx 166mhz
64 meg ram

yes i installed the drivers that came with the mouse
i get the red light at the base of the mouse to light up but THATS as far as get to making it work.
sorry i forgot to add

windows 98
Are you certain you have no PS/2 port? It may be black rather than the colour of your mouse's plug.It should be the port directly above the keyboard port.  If it's a tower, it's to the SIDE.
