Hmmm, I think the PS2 mouse will stay as long as you have your PS2 mouse port enabled. No big deal really. If you want to use the mouse USB, and don't like the yellow !, then go into your BIOS and disable the PS2 port. If it doesn't bother you, leave it alone.

Yes, the best policy for KB's and mice seems to be to plug it it, and let Windows search for drivers. If it has internal drivers for it, they seem to work best, without all the bloated software the CD's usually install. You will undoubtedly need CD drivers for your internet KB to work correctly though. I dunno, maybe not since it is a Microsoft KB.
