2000 server mouse freeze

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

I currently have an older computer with 2000 server installed on it, when I
installed I didn't have a mouse plugged in, now that I've plugged a mouse in
Windows will boot, but if I start moving the mouse the computer locks up
entirely. I can have the mouse plugged in and it won't freeze, its only
after I move the mouse that the computer locks up. I've tried USB, PS/2 and
serial mice, all of them cause the same problem. I would really like to have
this problem resolved, so help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
