Re: Computer going nuts
First, with the PC off I'd take the mouse connector out and the plug it back in.
Next and I'm not sure how you can do this without a mouse (see below), but to check if there is an irq conflict
To do this without a mouse - There should be a keyboard function key, on mine its the lower row 3 keys to the right of the space bar its a picture of a menu. The key will do the same a a right click.
- right click on the "my Computer icon and select "properties"
- Select the Hardware tab
- Open device manager
- expand the mouse tab
- right click on the mouse and select properties
The display should tell you if the PC thinks the mouse is working properly or if ther is a conflict.
If it says it is working properly then chances are its a bad mouse.
It would be about a 15.00 purchase for a USB or ps2 mouse to be sure unless you have a spare.
