I have found that a PS/2 mouse only works before you log on, and as soon as you log on, it stops working. I have tried 2 PS/2 mice. When I have a USB mouse plugged in it works fine, but only after you have booted, otherwise it freezes when detecting IDE drives. This is the same across Linux, Vista, 7 and XP. The PS/2 mouse works fine if the USB one is plugged in, but then the USB one doesn't work. Please help me solve this. It is confusing me.

Re: Puzzling...
If this is happening on separate operating systems and the mouse is fine then I think that something is wrong with your motherboard and there isn't anything that you can do to fix it other than possibly fixing it by flashing the bios or doing a bios upgrade. If either of those goes wrong you could permanently mess up your computer. If it where me I'd use the USB mouse and save up for a new one.
