USB mouse not working?

Question

I am using a USB mouse. It doesn't work if I plug into the USB input of my computer. It can only work if I use an adaptor and plug into the PS2 mouse port. What should I do to make the USB input working? My motherboard is Asus P5VDC with Petium D CPU and my system is running Windows Vista.

Yes, I own a Mac and I was using some generic brand USB mouse from Walmart for a long time before I shelled out some money for a bluetooth wireless one.

Answer 4

Sounds like you are missing the drviers for the USB. If it doesn't work in the front, then the USB ports may not be connected to the motherboard. I would check the hardware configuration and see if the drivers are loaded for the USB bridge and USB ports.
