When I boot XP pro, I get this error message just before the XP start up
screen,
8603. PS/2 Pointing device error or not connected
I press OK and the computer boots normally and the mouse works fine.
My mouse is a Logitech MouseMan wheel , it's plugged in USB.
I got the latest drivers and software for the mouse.
In the Hardware Manager of the system properties, in the mouse and pointing
devices section, it only lists:
HID-compliant MouseMan Wheel
I know for sure it used to show a second mouse, named PS/2 Compatible
Pointing Device or something like that... That is before I update the
mouseware... however, I was still getting this 8603 error at startup with the
older mouseware.
specs:
Aptiva - Pentium III 550MHz
128MB RAM
Windows XP pro
Thanks.
