XP Cannot see serial mouse in COM port

Posted: 05-27-2004, 09:14 AM
Hello All,
I am trying to connect a Serial mouse (It is actually a ps2
mouse with a 9 pin ps2->serial converter) to my home PC via the Serial
COM port, I do have a ps2 port on the pc but I need to test using the
serial COM (dont ask), that is the background. Anyway after connecting
the serial mouse to my XP driven pc and I reboot I presumed that XP
would listen for activity on the COM port and try to install a
pointing device driver to that port but nothing is detected. Do I need
to do anything to make this happen ??

cheers, Mark ..
