Carl, thanks for the correction. I guess I'm thinking of the PS2/serial mouse, which I guess doesn't apply to USB devices. eddie, I know there is a power minimum that USB devices must meet to activate the port. Plug in your mouse, and then go to your Device Manager (hit the Windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time for a quick shortcut) and find your USB Root Hub, and click on the "power" tab, and click "power properties" and see if it is drawing any power. My USB mouse draws 100ma. If it isn't drawing any power, I would think that the mouse is bad, or possibly the plug isn't making good contact.
