ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Re: Computers and the Internet Another mouse problem???

It seems like I'm having mouse problems. My son gave me one of the optical ones, but when I plug it up, I get the Windows Screen that says that windows cannot detect a mouse connection. I thought maybe the one he gave me was bad. I tried one on another or our computers that I know is working, and it says the same thing. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong. I turned off the computer, before changing over. Still nothing. It seems my old mouse will work ( well as good as it's been working anyway ) but none of the other ones will. ) Thanks for the input.... Steve
