Extra info...
* Celeron 2400
* Using XP Home
* Required MSN Passport account (--> set up account today) prior to activating MS Reader
No applications open at the time other than IE Explorer and Outlook.
About a half-hous into browing the web this morning, and just after installing then activating "Microsoft Reader", my mouse decided to disable itself.
========================
* Generic ('Moebius' branded) PS2 Wheel Mouse.
* No separate software provided for mouse with purchase of new PC ~2 months ago.
* Attempted to unplug, restart, shutdown, plug in, restart... no change.
* Have looked in "Contol Panel > Mouse > Hardware" - no hardware listed.
* Have looked in "Control Panel > System > Device Manager" - No 'mouse', 'mice and other pointing deviced', or 'human interface device' listed.
* Have attempted "Add Hardware" - many dead ends, no mouse listed anywhere.
========================
Please help! So far I'm doing well with just the keyboard, but I am severely limited without my mouse.\
