I was using an Alps GlidePoint external mouse (and
keyboard) with my notebook which had Win98SE. I now have
newer notebook which has WinXP. I tried to connect this
mouse (and notebook), but notebook only has USB ports. So
I bought a USB to PS/2 adapter (made in China). But when I
connect everything, the mouse cursor keeps flickering and
then computer locks. Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Do I have to get a new mouse pad (that works with WinXP)?
Or is the 'USB to PS/2 adapter' not compatible with my
notebook or WinXP. It states that it will work with PC
Win98 SE, WinME, Win 2000, WinXP Netware4.11, etc. I
notice there is NO comma after WinXP and maybe it will
only work with WinXP Netware4.11 (I don't know what that
means).
Any help would be appreciated.
