I have Windows 98, 133 Mhz, Pentium I. Suddenly this morning my mouse stopped working. I tried 2 other mice and an extra serial adaptor. Still nothing. Message says "computer doesn't recognize mouse. Install Serial mouse now, click OK. Nothing

How do I tell if it's the outlet pins themselves or where the ribbon connects to the motherboard? Is the only way to know is to buy new mouse port? Like I said, I have tried more than 2 mice and more than one serial adaptor. My mouse is serial, obviously!

Thank you much! I know I can count on someone to give answer? :0)
It's actually my boyfriends puter here in the house. That's why I am able to post this question
