My brother has a Compaq that is using a mouse tablet and a ps/2 mouse which works fine. It's the type of mouse that you operate by dragging your finger on a tablet.

But how do I get my serial mouse to work? It's hooked up properly to the back of the Laptop but that's it. The computer still sees the PS/2 only.

How do I switch it from PS/2 to Serial mouse? How do I get into the BIOS and all that? Is it F10? If so, what do I switch. Is it treated like any other ordinary PC?

Thanks
Dave
