Laptop and external mouse

[Guest pjp]

Older Thinkpad that I also have a PS2 style true blue MS scroll wheel mouse

attached. Damned if I can find a driver for the mouse that works properly in

that it detects the scroll wheel for scrolling. Seems very odd as the scroll

wheel button can be assigned. Running 98SE.

Is this a question, a riddle, or are you just demented?

Without having to guess the exact mouse and drivers you tried, start here:

??? Thought it pretty clear. Would like the scroll wheel to be detected and

work on an external Microsoft Wheel Mouse attached via the PS2 port to a

laptop and also still have the laptops built-in mouse enabled. Using

Microsoft's Intellimouse driver which even had a mouse style slection screen

enabled the scroll wheels button (e.g. button 3) but didn't "see" the scroll

wheel itself.

Re: Laptop and external mouse

 

Brand named, labeled, Microsoft PS2/Serial Wheel Mouseas using PS2

connection (basic mouse with two buttons and the scroll wheel which also is

a button). Running 98SE on a Thinkpad (Celeron 500) laptop. Tried basic

Intellimouse software came with mouse and as well tried Logitech's later

driver. In both cases only device seen is one "PS2 style" mouse rather than

the expected two mice, e.g. laptops internal mouse and the external mouse.

Hence wondering if there's not some low level hardware fudging going on?

Re: Laptop and external mouse

 

Could be you need to do some BIOS configuring as mentioned here:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4YQKLP

 

Follow all of the steps carefully and read it thrice if you need to before doing

anything.

Ignore the assh9ole. Really, he's a ignorant, mean old man with no redeeming

qualities who hangs here just to insult people. It's all he knows how to do.

(98 Guy is just an ignorant idiot, this guy is a real assho9le)
