The mouse or pointing device does not work
Symptom: The mouse or pointing device does not work.
Actions:
Verify that the mouse or pointing-device cable is securely attached to the correct connector on the

mouse, serial, or USB connector. Some keyboards have integrated USB connectors that can be used
for a USB mouse or pointing device.
Verify that the device drivers for the mouse or pointing device are installed correctly.
If you are using a USB keyboard or mouse, verify that the USB connectors are enabled in the BIOS
settings. See “Enabling or disabling a device” on page 75
.
If these actions do not correct the problem, run the diagnostic programs (see “Diagnostic programs” on
page 101 for instructions). If you need technical assistance, see Chapter 11 “Getting information, help, and
service” on page 105.
