That adapter should work fine. Mine works without any trouble at all.
Go to device manager (right click on my computer, properties, hardware,
device manager. Delete the line showing "Mouse" , Plug in your USB mouse and
reboot.
Should come right up with a working USB Mouse Cursor.

Any PS2 mouse "won't work", the hardware (mouse) has to be designed as USB
and PS2 compatible, and the manufacturer had to write a driver to use when
the mouse is connected to the USB port versus the PS2 port.

Those are two different devices. Look at the arrow on the PS2 end.
