Hello again:

Would a PS/2 mouse driver work if I plug the USB mouse into a USB to PS/2 converter? I do not know how to program a PS/2 driver, so I won't know if is is my code or the mouse. I would like to know, before I start wasting my time trying to code something that won't work.

Once I know that a USB to PS/2 converter works, than I'll try to program a mouse driver.

Thanks!
David

Why don't you put your mouse into the USB port and simply enable PS/2 emulation in the BIOS?

I have PS/2 emulation, but I've heard it's slow. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I didn't recognize during typing that it would be slow

As long as it is not wireless, at least, it worked for me.

Hello again:

Well thanks, I'll try it then. As long as it works...

Thanks!

Should work with out conversion if using emulated environment. When on real hardware it will not. My USB Wireless Mouse acts like PS/2 in VPC2007, for example.
