1. It is necessary to have the unit turned off before connecting the serial mouse to the unit.
2. Power the unit on. From the Start menu, click Settings, Control Panel, and then click the System icon. Next click the Device Manager tab and click the plus (+) next to Mouse.
3. See if there is anything other than Standard PS/2 mouse or PS/2 Compatible mouse port. If there is, remove it. If there are items that have a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to them, they will need to be removed as well. If there were no items with yellow exclamation points (!) then skip to step 5.
