No PS/2 mouse in WinME / Abit KT7A

Also posted to OS group. Any ideas?

Probably not your problem, but some BIOSs have an option to turn off the PS2 mouse. Check that and see. Also, sometimes when a mouse has not been detected initially you have to force it to find it. Do this by using hand controls in the control panel and go to the "Detect new hardware" control. A little tricky to do by hand but you should be able to do it. Other than that, I would suspect a bad mouse, which you should already have troubleshot, or bad mouse port. Could always get a USB mouse.

I had the same problem with mine, seen ALOT of people here and other web boards have that problem, plus more. I ended up getting another M/B, needless to say it was not an Abit board.

I built a computer for my Dad with an Asus A7V mobo, and I had this kinda problem. When I went into the device manager, the ps2 port was an unknown device. No drivers would work, but I dont see why windows didn't recognize it. It may be that that was just a bad ps2 port, which could be your problem... Just a thought. (BTW, I ended up just slapping on a USB mouse so I didn't have to RMA it!! )
