You can try my programs but it may nor may not help. Your computer will need a UHCI-compatible USB host controller, which are the older ones made by Intel and Via. Things made by other manufacturers, or newer USB hardware, probably aren't UHCI. > I don't think having USB mouse in BIOS is the problem. I believe my > configuration uses BIOS to boot by default. It more than likely IS the problem. Booting from USB and having the USB mouse and/or keyboard enabled in the BIOS are not the same thing. You need to make sure the USB mouse is enabled in your BIOS -- this is usually called something like "Legacy USB Support" in the BIOS (though different BIOSs label things differently). Not all BIOSs have USB mouse support, but a lot of them do and you should to make sure it's enabled until you understand a little more about how USB works. In addition, it's also possible that when you boot from USB you can't use the USB mouse even if it's enabled in the BIOS. It's all convoluted and confusing. Let's just say USB is VERY complicated and I can almost guarantee that it doesn't work the way you think it does. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
